Question

A clothing store buys a jacket for $80.00, but marks up their merchandise by 75% before putting it out for sale. What will this jacket sell for in the store?

Answer 1

$80.00 x .75 = 60

$80.00-60= $20.00
You take the original price and multiply it by the decimal of the percentage (75% move two places to the left .75). The outcome would be 60.
You would then have to take the $80.00 and subtract that with the answer you previously had “60”, and you will get $20.

$140
