Question

Paul bought a concert ticket for $25. He sold the ticket at a 35 percent markup. Find Paul’s selling price

Answer 1

$33.75

Explanation:

First, convert the percent markup to a decimal.

35% = 0.35

Then, multiply the markup by the price.

25 x 0.35 = 8.75

Finally, add this amount to the original price.

8.75 + 25 = $33.75
