Question

Dana buys dress shirts from a clothing manufacturer for Z dollars each, and then sells the dress shirts in her retail clothing store at a 35% markup. The expression 1z 0. 35z or 1. 35z represents the retail price of each dress shirt. How much did she sell one shirt for if she bought it at $32 each.

Answer 1

Answer: the raphster says..

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Because percents are the ratios of a given number to 100, you would divide 35 by 100, getting you a decimal of 0.35.

b. Now to get the total price. Because you are making it an ADDitional 35%, you would first say you have 100% of the original price, plus the extra 35%, getting a total of 135% the original. When divide by 100 the decimal form would be 1.35, which can then be plugged into an equation.

1.35s = retail price

c. Now that you have the equation, you just plug the given s value in.

1.35(32.00) = $43.20

d. You can now take the final price, and subtract the initial from it to find the change.

$43.20 - $32.00 = $11.20 added to the price
