Question

Consumer Math: Laila is going to start up a cookie baking business over the summer to make some extra money. It costs her $2.45 in supplies to make a dozen cookies. She wants to markup the price by 150%. How much should she sell a dozen cookies for?

Answer 1

$2.45 ------ 100%

x ------- 150%

in order to find the value of the price per dozen cookies we can do the next operations

`x=(150\cdot2.45)/(100)=3.675`

the price will be $3.68
