A store marks its merchandise up 225% from the price it pays. The store buys a bag of chips for $1.20. How much will the store charge for the bag of chips? (PLS give an explanation too!!)​

They would have to add that change up to cents because the store marks up to 225% from the prince it’s pays and we only add the 25 because if we add the 225 that changes the dollar that’s suppose to stay as 1$.

20+25=46 cents. U know it’s equals 45 cents because it’s just like counting by fives.

Sorry this is all I know about this problem.
