Answer:

  • <u>53.5 %</u>

Explanation:

You can convert the percent markup into a multiplicative factor in this way:

Base price:                     15,800 . . . (cost to the seller)

Percent mark up:           115% . . .  (based on the cost to the seller)

Sale price:                      15,800 + 115% of x = 15,800 + 115 × 15,800 /100 =

                                        = 15,800 + 1.15 × 15,800 = 15,800 (2.15) = 33,970

The markup is:

  • Markup = price paid by the seller - cost to the seller = 33,970 - 15,800   = 18,170 (notice that this is 115% of 15,800)

And <em>the percent markup based on the sale price is</em>:

  • % = (markup / sale price) × 100 = (18,700 / 33,970) × 100 =

            = 53.49 %

Rounding to the nearest tenth percent that is 53.5 %.

Bingel [31]
First of all lets find the area of the rectangle.
13 ft × 12 ft = 156 square feet.
Now lets find the price which is $8 / square foot. Using proportions we get:

Work out the percentage change when a price of £10 is increased to £12.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the percent change formula: difference = % * original cost

12 - 10 = 2

The difference is 2 and the original cost is 10. Now, we have the equation

2 = % * 10. We don’t know the percentage right? So now we have to find the percentage. To do this, you will have to do 2 divided by 10, which is 0.20. Lastly, we have to turn 0.20 into a percentage by multiplying it by 100, leaving you with 20%. So therefore, 20% is the percent increase. Hope this helps!
