I started working on a script that would take the cost of something
and suggest a retail amount.
I usually figure Retail on Margins. So Retail equals Cost divided by
(Margin-100)% plus Cost.
So if Cost is $50 and Margin is 40%
50/(40-100)%+50=80
or
(50/60%)+50=80


But now I have to go to work...

Either your equation is defective or I don't understand it. If your
retail price is cost plus margin, where margin is expressed as a
percentage of the cost, then for a 60% margin:

var margin = 60;
var rrp = cost * (1 + margin/100);


If margin is expressed as a decimal number (i.e. 0.6 rather than 60)
the formula becomes:

var margin = 0.6;
var rrp = cost * (1 + margin);


For rounding to a set number of decimal place, see the FAQ:

You Are Right
I guess I didn't explain it right
This Google Calculator may explain it better
