Question

You bought an item for $25 on Ebay and plan on marking it up 65%. What price will you sell your item for to the nearest dollar?

Answer 1

$41.25

Explanation:

The original price is $25. You want to sell it for 65% more. To find this amount, we need to find 65% of 25.

Let's make an equation.

65/100 • 25 = x

Multiply.

x = 16.25

Now we know how much you want to mark it up by.

Add this to your base of $25.

25 + 16.25

= 41.25

You want to sell it for $41.25.

Hope this helps!
