Question

cost of sled is 99.50 mark up is 95% what is sellin price

Answer 1

Find out what 95% of 99.5 is. "What is 95% of 99.5" is the question you need to answer. Frame the equation using the words in that sentence. "is" means equals, "of" means to multiply. So in translation, the equation you are solving is x=.95(99.5). Now when you solve that, you will get the dollar amount of the markup, but that is not the whole cost of the sled. You have to add the mark up to the original cost of 99.50. Does that make sense?
