The selling price is $2.10

Explanation:

The formula for the selling price is:

s=c+m

Where:
s is the selling price, what is being asked for in the problem
c s the cost of the product - $1.50 in this problem
m is the mark up - $0.60 in this problem

Substituting into the formula and calculating s gives:

s=$1.50+$0.60

s=$2.10
