    calculating cost, sell, and marigin
    I have a calculator that does this for me but I want to know the equations

    i.e..
    my cost is $1.85
    the sell price is $20

    the cost to sell price is a 90.75% increase
    my profit is $18.15

    on my calculator I just push those buttons but I want to know the equation for figuring it out

    and

    if the cost is $0.89
    and my margin is 90.75%
    then the sales price is $9.62

    what are the equations for these

    :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Thank you for your help:)

    Okay:

    Profit = Sales price – cost

    Cost to sales price (aka Margin) = profit / sales price


    Last one is complex to solve; I tried to derive the formula but I was unable to. Could someone good a deriveing formulas please help?
