Question

A store owner buys cell phones for $40 and marks up

the price by 25%. Explain how to find the price at which
she sells the cell phones.​

Answer 1

$50

Explanation:

She raised the price by 25% of $40.

A quarter of 40 dollars (or 25%) = $10. (40/4=10)

So, $10 is the price she marks up by.

$40 is the original price.

$40 + $10 = $50. Therefore, her final price is $50.

Answer 2

Just turn 25% into a decimal (25/100 is .25) Then multiply that by 40 to get 10. After that, add the 10 dollars to the original 40 to get $50

Hope this helps
