Question

What is $6.25 marked up 25%

Answer 1

Answer:

$6.25 marked up 25% is $7.81

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find what 25% is of 6.25.

Step 1: Our output value is 25.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above, 25=100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x=6.25%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

25=100%(1)

x=6.25%(2)

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

25 =   100

 x       6.25

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x =  6.25

25     100

x= 1.5625

x≈ 1.56

Once you've known what 25% is, you add it to 6.25.

1.56+6.25= 7.81
