Answer 2

$2289.35

Explanation:

We have been given that as purchasing assistant at Rosie’s Retail, you order a unique item for $1,055. You mark it to sell for 117% of the purchasing cost.

As the selling price equals to the cost of item plus markup, so to find the selling price of the item we can set an equation as:

`\text{The selling price of item}=1055+((117)/(100)*1055)`

`\text{The selling price of item}=1055+(1.17*1055)`

`\text{The selling price of item}=1055+1234.35`

`\text{The selling price of item}=2289.35`

Therefore, we will sell the item for $2289.35.
