Question

MEDAL AND FAN!!

A bike was originally $240.00. The price was marked up 15%. What is the new price of the bike?,

Answer 1

this is the answer
hope it helps :
first you should find that how much 15% of 240 is:

`(15)/(100) = (x)/(240) \\ x = (240 * 15)/(100) = (3600)/(100) = 36`
15% of 240 is 36. then:

`240 + 36 = 276`
the new price of the bike is $276

Answer 2

Origina Price = $240
Mark Up percentage = 15%
(15/100)*240
= $36
new price = $240 + $36
= $276
