Question

A typewriter costing $75.00 marked up 40% on cost

Answer 1

the price now would be $105

Answer 2

The new price would be $105. To solve this, you need to figure out what 40% of 75 is. A simple way to do this is to figure out what 1%, or in this case 10%, of 75 is! Take 75 and divide it by 100, and you get .75. Doing this tells you what 1% of 75 is. Now, multiply .75 by 40, and you get 30! Now add 30 and 75, and you get 105. I hope this helped! Could I possible get brainliest?
