Profit Margin on an item that Cost $10 with a Selling Price of $15

Given: Cost = $10,  Selling Price = $15
Formula:
Profit Margin =  
Selling Price – Cost/ Selling Price

Profit Margin =  
$15 – $10/ $15

Profit Margin =  
$5/ $15

Profit Margin = 0.3333 = 33.33%
Notes:
Profit = Selling Price – Cost = $15 – $10 = $5
Markup Amount = Profit = $5
Markup Percentage =  
Markup Amount/ Cost
=  
$5/ $10
= 0.5 = 50%
