Question

The cost of manufacturing a printer is $35. The retailer has a markup of 150%. What is the selling

price of the printer?

Answer 1

$87.50

Explanation:

35 is the original price. we are increasing it by 150% i like to break it up

100 percent increase would just be adding another 35 to it. so 35+35=70

then we have a 50% increase 35/2=17.50

70+17.50=87.50
