Default adding percentages to cells

Hi,

Do it in several steps and for the first markup of 50% try this. Put 1.5 in
a cell and copy it. Select rows 1 to 208 and right click them, click 'paste
Special' select 'Multiply' and then OK.

Repeat for other markups

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

I have no idea how to do this or if it's possible but I've been at this for
hours and am at a loss. I have 15,000 cells in one column that all have to
have different percentage mark ups. For instance the entire column is a
"wholesale" price. Certain items need to be marked up 50% others 40% and
others 75%. All groups are together in the colum so for instance cells 1-280
need to be marked up 50%, cells 281-900 need to be marked up 40%, and cells
901-3400 need to be marked up 75% and so on. How can I highlight the cells
and do a simple mark up without having to get a calculator out and
calculating what $2 plus 50% mark up is or $15.75 plus 40% mark up is
manually?
