Answer 2

The answer to your question is B. 39.56. To answer this question, you first have to see that the question is REALLY asking. The question asks you, "what is the price after the markup?" Which means you are supposed to add up the 10% more that you will need for the answer. What you first have to do is divide the $35.96 by 100 since percentage is used in this question. After dividing it you would get 0.3596. Next, you want to multiply the 0.3596 by 10 (because the desired markup is 10%) which gives you 3.596. Then you add up the 3.596 with the $35.96 giving you 39.556; so the closest answer to your answer is B. 39.56. ^^
