The club received good prices for the ingredients from the local stores, so each serving of nachos costs them only $0.50. The members plan to sell each serving of nachos for $1.25. What percent markup is in this price?

150% is the percent markup of the price based on the cost.

Price : 1.25

Cost : 0.50

Mark up: 0.75

0.75 / 0.50 = 1.50 * 100% = 150%
