A wine shop buys a French Chardonnay for $6.50 and then marks up the price 80%. What is the wine shop’s sale price for the French Chardonnay?

I got $1.30 is that correct?

Answer 2

oh no

Answer 3

oh my

Answer 4

if they sold it for $1.30 they would lose money one every bottle!

Answer 5

yeah it didnt make any sense lol

Answer 6

to increase a number by 80% you can do one of two things
a) find 80% of it then add to the original number
or, what is easier, is
b) multiply it by \(100\%+80\%=180\%=1.8\)

Answer 7

i.e. with a calculator compute \[6.50\times 1.8\]

Answer 8

so it would be 11. 70?

Answer 9

i actually have no idea how you came up with $1.30
