Given that:

- The store pays $54 for the jar of fossils.

- It marks up the price by 5%.

Let be "x" the new price (in dollars).

In order to write the percent as a Decimal Number, you need to divide it by 100. Then:


(5)/(100)=0.05

Therefore, 5% of $54 is:


(\text{ \$}$54$)(0.05)=\text{ \$}$2.7$0

Then, the new price is:


\begin{gathered} x=\text{ \$}$54$+\text{ \$}2.70 \\ x=\text{\$}$56.7$0 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:


\text{\$}$56.7$0
