Question

Cup o’ Coffee buys its coffee for $1.25 a cup. The coffee shop then sells each cup for $3.75. What is the percent markup for a cup of coffee?

Answer 1

47%

Step-by-step explanation: 375 × .125 = .046875

rounding up, 5 keeps the 7 as is, 7 is greater than 5, therefore the 8, becomes a 9, 9 is greater than 5, so the 6 becomes a 7, .047.

move the decimal three digits to the left and you get, 47%.
