TO GET A MARK-UP OF 58% YOU NEED TO MILTIPLY THE BASE PRICE BY 1 PLUS .58.
OR YOU CAN MULTIPLY THE BASE PRICE BY .58 & THEN ADD THE BASE PRICE.
THE RESULT SHOULD BE THE SAME.
358*(1+.58)
*****358
****1.58
----------------
****2864
***1790
***358
-----------------
**565.64
$565.64 IS THE SELLING PRICE.
