Question

The wholesale price of 20 sweaters is $260. A clothing store sells each sweater for $17.55. What is the percent increase from the wholesale price of one sweater to the store's selling price of one sweater?\

Answer 1

Explanation:

the price for the whole sale is 260/20=13

if the store is selling one sweater for 17.55

the percentage increase

17.55-13=4.55

4.55/13=0.35

0.35*100=35%

the increase was 35%
