Solution

The selling price of an article can be calculated using the formula:

Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

Given that the profit margin is 150%, this means that the profit is 150% of the cost price. In this case, the cost price is $p.

So, the profit is 150/100 * p=1.5p = 1.5 * p

Therefore, the selling price of the article is:

Selling Price = p(CostPrice)+1.5p (Cost Price) + 1.5 * p (Profit)

Selling Price = p+1.5p + 1.5 * p

Selling Price = 2.5 * $p

So, if a clothing store operates on a profit margin of 150%, the selling price of an article bought for pis2.5p is 2.5 * p.
