5. A Hummer four-door costs the dealer $57,915. The dealer has a 12.3% markup on selling price. What is the selling price of the vehicle? Round to the nearest dollar. Note: Markup is on selling price, not cost.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I think that if you write it out you will see what to do.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm terrible at math, lol.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OK, what do you think "he dealer has a 12.3% markup on selling price." means?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the dealer, ..typo....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I times the $57,915 by 12.3% ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, as a first step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got $7,123.55

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, and what is your next step?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

7,123.55 is just a markup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm guessing adding the $7,123.55 to the $57,915

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

YUP!!!!! Bingo!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you are adding the original price to the markup!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it $65,038.55 ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes! You don't even need my help! GREAT!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh if I round to the nearest dollar is it $65,039 ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what course is this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you. Business Calculations and methods 117

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Oh, I see. Pretty much the same thing as Personal Finance! That's a good course to take, and one of the few that you will actually need in life.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes Thanks again.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
