Question

Mr.Jones bought a box of 144 chocolate bars for $72.00 for his convenience store. He marks the price up by 50% . What is the price of one chocolate bar?

Answer 1

A box of 144 chocolate bars for 72 dollar.

Then each chocolate bar costs: 144/72 = 2 dollar

=> Price up to 50%: P = 2 x (1 + 50/100) = 2 x 3/2 = 3 dollar

Hope this helps!
