A Les Paul Tradition Plus® guitar is $1,659 at cost and $2,259 at retail price. What is the markup rate on the guitar?

Respuesta :

The mark up rate is the percentage that the retailer added to the cost to set the selling price.

Here the amount added to the cost was: $2,259 - $1,659 = $ 600.

The percentage is calculated dividing the amount added to the cost by the same cost and multiplying the result times 100.

($600 / $1,659 ) * 100 = 36.17%

Answer: 36.17%
