Question

How do you sole this question kelpie sold cameras on her web site. She bought the cameras for $65 each included a 60% markup to get the selling price. To the nearest dollar, what was the selling price for one

camera?

Answer 1

so 65 dollars was what she paid
each camera INCLUDED a 60% mark UP so
she sold each at a 60% markup

65 dollars=100% of origonal camers
she sold them for 100+60=160% of origonal price
65 dollars=100%
percent means parts out of 100 so
160%=160/100=1.6

find 160% of 65
'of' means multiply so
1.6 times 65=104

she sold each camera at $104
