Problema Solution

A gas station purchases gasoline from a refinery at the unit price of $3.25 per gallon and sells it to their customers at $3.64 per gallon. What is the percent mark up?

Answer provided by our tutors

Markup percent = (Sale price − Cost) / Cost

Markup percent = (3.64 − 3.25) / 3.25

Markup = 0.12 or 12%

The percent markup based on cost is 12%.
