To find the percentage of one number in relation to another number then divide the relative number (in this case 15) by the base number (in this case 35) and multiply the result by 100.

The markup is 15 units based on an original purchase price of 35 units.

The percentage markup is thus 100 x 15/35 = 42.86% (2dp)

How do you find markup?

1. Determine your product/service cost. How much did it cost you? As an example, let's assume the product cost is $1.40.2.Determine the percentage markup you wish to apply. Research your industry to apply a markup that will be competitive. In this example, we will use 30 percent.3. Convert the percentage markup to a decimal. In this case, a 30 percent markup would translate to 0.30 (30 divided by 100).4. Subtract the decimal in STEP 3 from 1. In this example, 1 minus 0.30 equals 0.70.5. Compute the total selling price by taking the cost from STEP 1 and dividing it by the result from STEP 4. In this example, $1.40 is divided by 0.70. The result is $2.00, which should be the total selling price.6. Calculate the price markup by subtracting the product cost from the selling price. In this example, the $2.00 selling price minus the $1.40 product cost gives you a price markup of $0.60.
