Question

Store owner buys hoodie for 16 dollars and sells it for 72 dollars what is the percent of the markup

Answer 1

This is an example of a percent change question.

Formula: new price - old price / old price

= 72-16/16

= 3.5

Multiply by 100%.

3.5 * 100% = 350%

Therefore, the hoodie was marked up 350%
