Question

If i have a pay rate of $21.00 and marked up 78.7% and made a 10% profit. how did i get $41.28?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of pay rate =$21

If she marked up by 78.7% , so it becomes

`78.7\%\text{ of}\$21\\\\=(78.7)/(100)* \$21\\\\=\$16.527`

So, our amount for pay rate becomes

`21+16.527\\\\=\$37.527`

Now, he said he made a profit of 10%,so it becomes

`10\%\text{ of }37.527\\\\=(10)/(100)* 32.527\\\\=\$3.7527`

So, our new pay rate becomes

`37.527+3.7527\\\\=\$41.2797`

This is the step through which we can get $41.28.
