please help me with this problem........Bottled water in a certain vending machine costs $1.50. This price is a markup from the wholesale cost of $0.20. What is the markup as a percent?

13%

sorry no it's 87%. Markup from .20 cents to 1.50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you markup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract original from markup (1.50-.20) = 1.30 and then divide by markup (1.50) which gets you 87%.
