We want to know an expression that let us find the price of a telescope of $400, after a 32% markup. We remember that briefly, the markup determines the percent of earning you will receive from selling a product.

On this case, for finding the cost, we will have to add the percent of earnings to the cost. Then we find the excedent given by the expression:


400(0.32)

And we add it to the original price:


400+400(0.32)

which is an expression to find the price after the markup.

Another option is to find the 100% + 32% of the original price, this is, multiply the original price by 1.32. We obtain that another expression for finding the price will be:


400\cdot1.32Those two are the only options, ok?C and D, those are the ones I wrote.Yes, I am here.Do you see what I'm writing?
