Question

The owner of a shop bought a scarf at the wholesale price of $8 and marked it

up by 250%. What is the selling price?

Answer 1

Answer: $28

Explanation:

is/of=%/100

Plug 250% into the % place and plug 8 into the "of" place.

is/8=250/100

You should get 20.

Add 20+8 to get your final answer.

$28

Answer 2

$20

Explanation:

8 percent *250 = (8:100)*250 =

(8*250):100 = 2000:100 = 20

Now we have: 8 percent of 250 = 20
