Selling Price Formula
1. The selling price is the amount for which an item is sold to a buyer.
2. Generally, the selling price is calculated based on the cost price and the desired profit or markup.
3. The basic formula for selling price is:
$$\text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} + \text{Profit}$$
4. If profit is given as a percentage of the cost price, then:
$$\text{Profit} = \frac{\text{Profit Percentage} \times \text{Cost Price}}{100}$$
5. Substitute to get:
$$\text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} + \frac{\text{Profit Percentage} \times \text{Cost Price}}{100} = \text{Cost Price} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100}\right)$$
6. Alternatively, if the markup percentage is used (percentage of cost price added), the formula remains the same.
Hence, the formula to determine the selling price is:
$$\boxed{\text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100}\right)}$$
