    20% Markup:
    Profit = COST x 20%
    £45 = COST x 20%
    COST = £45/0.2 = £225

    40% Margin:
    SELLING PRICE X 40% = Profit
    SELLING PRICE x 60% = COST = £225
    SELLING PRICE = £225/0.6 = £375

    Profit = SELLING PRICE - COST PRICE = £375 - £225 = £150
    or
    Profit = SELLING PRICE x 40% = £375 x 40% = £150
