Question

1. Leslie visits a local department store in order to purchase summer clothes. The

price of the dress is $40. The dress is marked up 25%. What is the selling price of

the dress?

Answer 1

$50

Explanation:

Given data

We are given that the price is $40

the markup percent is 25%

Hence the price will be

40+25% of 40

=40+ 25/100*40

=40+ 0.25*40

=40+10

=$50

Therefore, the price of the dress is $50
