How do you calculate percentage of markup plus cost minus 25% of the result to break even?

Price + X% x Price = Total





Total - 25% x Total = Price





I think that's what you mean?





Let's make it easy: Say our total is 拢100 - then our Price = 拢75





So 75 * x = 100





x = 100/75 = 1.333 or 33% Markup.





Test it with a random number:





Price = 拢36.50


Marked up = 36.50 + 33% = 拢48.67





25% deduction = 拢48.67 - 25% = 拢36.50
