Medal? =)
Find the percent of markup. Round to the nearest tenth:) $37.00 to $49.00 A: 24.5% B: 32.4% C: 27.7% D: 12.0%
I'm assuming its D. 12.0% that would be the best answer(:
@Taco-Bell-Autumn Can you show me how you got the answer?
ok lets go over it step by step as these questions can get tricky
please feel free to stop me at any time if you get confused
okay:)
All I did was type all the answer in my calculator like this: 37.00(12.0) and I kept replacing in the parenthesis until I got the correct answer.
ok lets put it in a word problem for example an item is based $37 and is sold for $49
Sorry guess my answer wasn't the best lol. Good luck!
from here it is all about plugging in the right information and the answer will come to you markup percent = 100 x (sales price - cost)/cost the 100 is put in there becuase we are dealing with percents every percent is out of a 100
So it would be 100* 49/37?
yes Ma'am
actually it would be 100 * (49-37) / 37
OH okay. i would be getting..32.4324322432 and so on
you always do whats in parenthesis first so 49-37=12 then you do multiplication and division, since multiplication comes first in this problem 100*12=1200/37= the answer you got
rounding to the nearest tenth would = 32%
oh!! that was simple:)
yes Ma'am i hope it was pretty simple for you to understand
Thank you!:) So much i appreciate it!
