15^2 + 8^2 = 225+64 = 289

Find the selling price of a $50 item after a 50 % markup

siniylev [52]

Answer:

75 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

If an item is 50 and you want to markup 50%, you must find 50% of 50 to find how much the item will go up by from 50.

So 50% of 50 means 50% times 50.

50%=.5 or 1/2

So .5(50)=25.

The item is going up by 25 dollars.

So we started at 50 dollars.

So 50+25 is going to be the new amount.

50+25=75 is the new amount.

Now, we know that, $\text { distance travelled }=\text { speed } \times \text { time }$
