A store owner buyso backpacks at a certain price and sells them at a higher price. The difference is called the markup. If she pays 21$ for a backpack and adds a 40% markup on the price she paid,what is the selling price?

your answer would be $29.40 because 21×0.4=8.4 so you add 21+8.4=29.4 (your answer)
