Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to build a formula in google sheets to calculate my sale price when there are selling fees applied to the sale price (and I want to calculate profit margin based on my costs AND selling fees).
I need a formula that will calculate my item price based on;
item cost (wholesale price+shipping)
selling fees (when selling on online channels such as amazon they take a % of every sale, this needs to be added to the cost)
profit margin (I'd like to do 20% profit on my costs- including the selling fees)
the algebraic formula is something like this
x= cost + (fee % * x) + .2(cost + (fee % * x))
if going with the example of
cost = 100
% fee= 10%
the formula would look like this
100+ .1x + .2(100+.1x)=x
or
100 + 20 + .1x + .02x = x
Do you know how I can simplify that so that I can put it into excel and drag down to apply to all my items?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
