Answer:

Retail price of the popular leash is $14.78.

Explanation:

As given

Joseph Haydn Pet Store offers wide variety of leashes for dogs.

The store purchases one popular type of leash from its manufacturer for $4.38 each.

Joseph Haydn Pets marks up leashes at a rate of 238% of cost.

238% is written in the decimal form .


= (238)/(100)

= 2.38

Markup price = 2.38 × Cost of one popular leash

Putting all the values in the abpove

= 2.38 × 4.38

= $ 10.4 (Approx)

Retail price of the popular leash = Cost of one popular leash + Markup price

= $4.38 + $10.4

= $14.78

Therefore the retail price of the popular leash is $14.78.
