    A jewelry store purchased 120 fashion watches for $2400. If the store sold 60 watches at $40, 48 watches at $36, and the rest at $20, find the total markup, the markup percent on selling price, and the equivalent markup percent on cost.

    Purchased 120 fashion watches for 2400. So, 1 watch= $20
    Sold watches: 60 watches at $40.48 per watch, so the markup percentage is (40.48/20)*100= 202.4%

    Sold 48 watches at $36.00 per watch, so the markup percentage is (36/20)*100= 180%

    Sold 12 watches at $20.00 per watch, so the markup percentage is (20/20)*100= 100%

    So, the total markup percentage is ((2428.80 + 1728 + 240) /2400)*100 = (4396.80)/2400 * 100 = 183.20%

    there for total profit is 183.20 %.
