Question

A bookstore bought a case of 10 books for a wholesale price of $74. The bookstore will sell the books at a 20% markup. How much will they sell each book for? $5.92 $7.38 $7.42 $8.88

Answer 1

$8.88

Explanation:

$74 / 10 = $7.40 [price per one book]

x/7.40 = 120/100 [here we are comparing our final answer (x) to a 20% markup (120) and saying that 7.40 is our 100% of x]

100x = 888 [simplify]

x = 8.88 [simplify]

Answer 2
