Question

Bari Jay, a gown manufacturer, received an order for prom dresses from China. Her cost is $32 a gown. If her markup based on selling price is 76%, what is the selling price of each gown?

Answer 1

To find the selling price of each gown, add the cost of the gown to the markup amount. The selling price is $56.32

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the selling price of each gown, we need to add the cost of the gown to the markup.

First, calculate the markup amount by multiplying the cost of the gown ($32) by the markup percentage (76%).

Markup amount: $32 x 0.76 = $24.32

Next, add the markup amount to the cost of the gown to find the selling price:

Selling price = Cost + Markup amount = $32 + $24.32 = $56.32

Answer 2

She takes a gown which she bought for

$33 and marks it up 69% then the selling

price is 1.69 times purchase price

33(1.69) = $55.77 per gown
