Question

Due to the increased gasoline surcharge for its deliveries, the Sunnyside Beach Snack Stand had to offset its losses by passing along this cost to its customers. As a result, the snack stand applied a 13% markup on all of its items. The original price for a foot-long combo basket was $5.75. What was the selling price (to the nearest cent) for the foot-long combo basket after the markup

Answer 1

$6.50

to mark up would mean and increase so:

5.75*1.13=6.4975

round: $6.50
