Markup and Margin Calculations

Sales work often involves calculating the various relations between markup, margin,
selling price and costs. Markup is defined as the difference between selling price and cost,
divided by the cost. Margin is defined as the difference between selling price and cost,
divided by selling price. In other words, markup is based on cost and margin is based on
selling price.
The following keystroke sequences are given to readily make these calculations on the
