Question

Janet purchased $870 worth of eletronics. If she marks up her cost by 40%. What is the total retail cost of eletronics?

Answer 1

$1218

Explanation:

The total retail cost of the electronics is the original cost (at $870) PLUS the markup (0.40)($870) = $348. This comes to $1218.

A faster and just as accurate method would be to mult. $870 by 1.4:

1.4($870) = $1218

Answer 2

i got the answer $1218
