can anyone help me wid business finance chps.......n prices like "markup".....not able 2 understand......:'(
Mark up is the percentage you apply on cost, Margin is the percentage you apply on sales.
This gives you the gross profit.
Mark-up is always greater than margin;
Formula for conversion are:
Mark-up to Margin (e.g: mark up = 25% )
25/100 + 25 * 100 = 20%

For Margin to Mark up (assuming margin = 20%)
20/100-20 * 100 = 25%
