Question

A music store buys instruments and then sells them for 30%more than they paid.

If the store buys a guitar for $45, what will the store sell it for?
Thank you!

Answer 1

so you would work out 10% which is 1 decimal place so that would be 4.5 then you would multiply it by 3 to get 30% and add it on so 4.5+4.5+4.5=13.5 then do £45 + £13.50

So your answer is £58.50
Hope this helped

Answer 2

The store will sell the guitar for $58.50

Explanation:

$45 * 1.3 = $58.50

Since the price they bought it for is $45 and the markup percent is 30%, we multiply $45 by 1.3, which will give us $58.50.
