Convert a 30% markup percent on cost to markup percent on selling price

To convert a **30% markup on cost** to a **markup on selling price**, we can use the following relationship:

If:
- **\( C \)** is the cost price,
- **\( M_C \)** is the markup on cost (30% in this case),
- **\( S \)** is the selling price,

then the formula for the selling price with a markup is:

\[
S = C + (M_C \times C)
\]
\[
S = C(1 + M_C)
\]

The **markup on selling price** \( M_S \) is then:

\[
M_S = \frac{S - C}{S} \times 100
\]

Let's calculate it step by step:

1. \( M_C = 30\% = 0.30 \)
2. Selling price \( S = C(1 + 0.30) = 1.30C \)
3. Markup on selling price:

\[
M_S = \frac{(1.30C - C)}{1.30C} \times 100 = \frac{0.30C}{1.30C} \times 100 = \frac{0.30}{1.30} \times 100
\]

\[
M_S \approx 23.08\%
\]

Thus, a **30% markup on cost** corresponds to a **23.08% markup on selling price**.
