Question

A store pays $68 for a chest of drawers and markers the price up by 50% what is the amount of the mark up

Answer 1

how i would do it is first do 68 divided by 2 bc that would be 1/2or 50% so that is 34$ so the i would do 68$+34$=102$ but the question is how much was the markup so its 34$. and you can confirm im right by putting in 68x50% in the calculator

Answer 2

$102.00

Explanation:

Simply multiply 68 by 50 percent

68 × 50% or 68 × .5 = 34

so . .

Add 68 + 34 = 102
