Answer:

$65.

Explanation:

Given:

The Store's wholesale price of a t-shirt is $50

The markup set by the store is 30%.

To find:

Calculate the retail price set by the store on the t-shirt.

Solution:

Wholesale price of a t-shirt = $50

Markup % = 30

First of all we will find the markup value with the help of markup percentage and then we will simply add the wholesale price and markup value of T-shirt.

Markup value of T-shirt =
30\%\ 0f\ 50=(30)/(100) *50=(1500)/(100) =\$15

Retail price of T-shirt = Wholesale price of a t-shirt + Markup value of T-shirt

Retail price of T-shirt = $50 + $15

Retail price of T-shirt = $65

Therefore, the retail price set by the store on the t-shirt is $65.
