As a starting point, the variable label is Sale Price, the variable name is price. You need to refer to it as price (I would rename the column sale_price personally as it sounds like you already have a column named price.
add price num label = 'Sale Price';
See this worked example:
data class;
set sashelp.class;
run;
proc sql;
alter table class
add Year2 num label = 'Weight in Year 2';
update class
set Year2 = weight * 1.05;
quit;
I get the add/modify steps but SAS recreates it anyways so why not use a CREATE TABLE instead?
proc sql;
create table market as
select *, price*0.05 as sale_price label='Sale Price'
from market;
quit;

market.csv:
Column 1: Item ID;
Column 2: Item Name;
Column 3: Unit Price;
Column 4: Sale Amount;
Column 5: Store Branch;
warehouse.csv:
Column 1: Item ID;
Column 2: Item Name;
Column 3: Warehouse Hub Name;
