Question

jonathan bought an old desk at a yard sale for $24. he repaired the desk and then sold it for 525% profit. how much did Jonathan sell the desk for??​

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that Jonathan bought the desk for $24, so the cost of the desk before any profit is $24.

After the 525% profit, the cost of the desk will be increased by 525% of $24, which is:

525% of $24 = (525/100) x $24 = $126

So the cost of the desk after the 525% profit is:

C = $24 + $126 = $150

Therefore, Jonathan sold the desk for $150.
