Question

A store sells an outfit that consists of a blouse, a vest, and a skirt. The store purchases the blouse for $20, the vest for $12, and the skirt for $33. The percent of markup is 32%. Find the selling price of the outfit.

Answer 1

85.80

Explanation:

The cost of the outfit before markup is

20+12+33 = 65 dollars

Markup = cost * percent markup

= 65*32%

= 65*.32

=20.8

Add this to the original cost

Selling price = original price +markup

= 65+ 20.8

=85.80
