Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let the normal retail price of the sweater be 'SP' and the cost price be 'CP'

Therefore,

The selling price = SP - 40% of SP = SP - 0.4SP = 0.6SP

Now,

the profit = 20% of CP = 0.2CP

also,

Profit = Selling Price - Actual price

or

0.2CP = 0.6SP - CP

or

1.2CP = 0.6SP

Or

CP = 0.5SP

or

SP = 2CP

thus,

Increase percentage in sweater marked up from wholesale at its normal retail price

= \frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100

or

=  \frac{2CP-CP}{CP}\times 100

= 100%
