Question

$185 dvd player; 5% markup

Answer 1

the markup is $9.25 so the new total would be $194.25 for the DVD player.

Explanation:

Since 5% is equal to .05 or
`(5)/(100)`, you will be multiplying 185 by either one, to get 9.25. You will then want to add, since it's a mark-up, 9.25 by 185, to get 194.25.
