Question

The manager at Jessica's Furniture Store is trying to figure out how much to charge for a couch that just arrived. If the couch was bought at a wholesale price of $113.00 and Jessica's Furniture Store marks up all furniture by 45%, at what price should the manager sell the couch?

Answer 1

the couch would be 163.85

Answer 2

Answer: The manager sold the couch at $163.85.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Wholesale price of the couch = $113.00

If Jessica's Furniture Store marks up all furniture by 45%.

So, Increment in whole sale price is given by

`(45)/(100)* 113\\\\=(5085)/(100)\\\\=\$50.85`

So, the manager sold the couch at the price is given by

`\$113.00+\$50.85\\\\=\$163.85`

Hence, the manager sold the couch at $163.85.
