Question

Diane buys dress shirts from a clothing manufacturer for S dollars each, and then sells the dress shirts in her retail clothing store at a 35% markup. Enter an expression for the retail price of the dress shirt. Let S represent the original price. S

Answer 1

The retail price of the dress is : S + 0.35S

Using the parameters given for our Calculation;

• Price per dollar = S
• markup percentage = 35%

The retail cost per dress would be calculated thus ;

• price per dollar + 0.35(price per dollar)

Now we have ;

Retail price = S + 0.35S
