You can put this solution on YOUR website!
80% of the cost is
\n" ); document.write( ".8 * 8.50 = 6.80
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "so the sales price should be the cost + required profit
\n" ); document.write( "8.50 + 6.80 = 15.30
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "or you could say he need to sell for 100% of cost + 80% of cost = 180% of the cost
\n" ); document.write( "1.8*8.50 = 15.30
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
