There are two ways:

1.   (42,000 * 3)/5 =

126000/5 =

25200

2.    42000/5 =

8400*3 =

25200

Now subtract 25200 from original

42000 - 25200 = 16800

16800 votes were not for the winner

The clownfish kay wanted to buy for $12 last week has been marked up 8%. What is the new price of the fish?

The markup is 8%, meaning it costs 8% more.
The starting price is 100%.
Therefore, the markup is 108% of $12.
If we multiply 12 by 108% (1.08), we will get our answer of $12.96
