Question

Manicure sets at nails by Nina are marked up 47% from the cost of $8.36. What does a manicure set cost in Nina’s store?

Answer 1

The cost of a manicure set in Nina's store is $12.30.

Explanation:

To find the cost of the manicure set in Nina's store, you can use the following formula:

Selling price = Cost + Cost * Markup percentage

Substituting the given values into this formula, you get:

Selling price = $8.36 + $8.36 * 47%

To find the value of the markup percentage, you can convert 47% to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 47/100 = 0.47

Then you can use this value in the formula to find the selling price:

Selling price = $8.36 + $8.36 * 0.47
