Question

A DVD player costs a store $185 to purchase from the manufacturer. They mark the price of the DVD player up by 20% for profit. How much do they charge for the DVD player?

Answer 1

222

Explanation:

Hi! So marking up means to raise the price or increase it.

185 is the whole, a whole is 100

and we need to raise it by 20% so add these two together to get 120%, turn this into a decimal is 1.2, now to find and increase we multiply it by the original price.

1.2 x 185 = 222

Very sorry if it is wrong.

Answer 2

$222

Explanation:

$185 x 1.2 = $222
