Question

PLEASE HELP

A store marks its merchandise up 225% from the price it pays (Hint: whoa that is MORE than DOUBLED/twice).

The store buys a bag of chips for $1.20. How much will the store charge for the bag of chips?

Answer 1

The store will charge $3.90 for the bag of chips.
Reason for this is do 1.2*225%(or 2.25) in your calculator to get 2.7.
Then take the 2.7 then add it to the original purchase cost of 1.2 to give you a total of $3.90.
