Question

The wholesale price of a washing machine is $460.00.  How much will the store charge after a 25% markup?

mathmale · Answer

A markup is added to the wholesale price.  In this case the markup is 0.25*$460.

But you still have to add that result to the wholesale price, that is, to $460.

A faster way to calculate the selling price would be to multiply $460 by 1.25.  Show your work if you want feedback on it.
