Question: Your retail pharmacy sells products at:
45% markup over wholesale + a set dispensing fee of $4.
A customer brings in a script for: Vardenafil 5mg #10.
The total retail cost at pickup for the 10 tablets is $149.00.
What is your pharmacy's wholesale cost per/each tablet ?

p is price as cost per tablet, which is the price being asked.

10p = wholesale price for the 10 tablets;
highlight%2810p%2B%280.45%29%2A10p%2B4=149%29 accounts for cost of sale.
Solve for p.
