Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The selling price of the snack will be the addition of the cost plus the markup. This will be:

Cost per unit = $4.50

Markup percentage= 15%

Markup = Markup percentage × Cost

= 15% × $4.50

= 0.15 × $4.50

= $0.675

Then, selling price will be:

= $4.50 + $0.675

= $5.175 per unit

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

= $5.175 - $4.50

= $0.675 per unit

The profit is the markup price.
