Flip - flops have a wholesale cost of eight dollars. A shoe store wants to sell them with a markup of eighty-five percent. What are the amounts of markup and the retail price of the footwear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take 85% of 8. u times 8 by .85 and that's the amount of markup. if u add the product of that equation to 8, you will get the retail price

OpenStudy (natsent06):

so markup is $6.80 and retail is $14.80?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (natsent06):

thanks
