Retail price calculator

I am in school and taking a visual basic class, I need to write a program that will accept the wholesale amount and add a markup percentage and return the total retail price. I am not sure where to start, any help would be appreciated

You need to decide what variables you will need: ie. a variable to hold the wholesale price, another variable to hold the markup rate ie .05, and a variable to hold the retail price calculated. You will also need a function routine that will accept the wholesale price and rate as parameters and return the retail price as a return value.

On your form add 2 textbox, one called txtWholesale and one called txtMarkUp. Then add a label for the results called lblRetail. Add a command button called cmdCalculate to start the calculation.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click()
  2.     lblRetail.Caption = Format(txtWholesale.Text + ((txtWholesale.Text * (txtMarkup.Text / 100))), "0.00")
  3. End Sub
