Question

Answer 1

Find out the selling price.

To prove

As given

A store manager instructs his employees to mark up all the items by 30%. An item that the store bought for $27.

30% is written in the decimal form.

`= (30)/(100)`

= 0.30

30% of the $27 = 0.30 × 27

= $8.1

Selling price of the item = Original price of item + 30% of the $27

= $27 + $8.1

= $ 35.1

Therefore the selling price of the item is $35.1 .
