Question

The store purchased one riding mower for $1,500 and sold the riding mower for

$2025. What was the percent mark-up for the mower?

Answer 1

35%

Step-by-step explanation:
`\left(2025-1500\right)/1500`

Calculate

`(2025-1500)/(1500)`

Calculate the sum or difference

`(525)/(1500)`

Cross out the common factor

`(7)/(20)`

Multiply a number to both the numerator and the denominator

`(7)/(20)*(5)/(5)`

Write as a single fraction

`(7*5)/(20*5)`

Calculate the product or quotient

`(35)/(20*5)`

`(35)/(100)`

Rewrite a fraction with denominator equals 100 to a percentage

`35%`%
