Question

The manufacturer price was $50. The customer purchased the item for $200. What percent of the original price did the customer pay?

Answer 1

400%

Explanation:

the question is asking what percent of 50 is 200

we can set up this proportion to find 'x' (the original price)

200/50 = x/100

cross-multiply to get:

50x = 20,000

x = 400%
