Question

Martha buys tennis rackets for $45 dollars. She marks them up 25% before selling them. What is the retail price of the tennis rackets?

Answer 1

Explanation:

125% to 1.25

45(1.25)

$56.25

Answer 2

She marks up the price by 25%, so she is selling them for 125% (100+25=125%=1.25) of the original price that she bought it for.

45x1.25
=56.25

She sells the tennis rackets for $56.25 each.
