Answer 1

Answer:

$1.60

$2.88

Explanation:

To find the selling price of the distributor and the retailer, we first need to find how much the distributor sells each pack of cards.

To find the selling price we use the formula.

Selling Price = Cost + Markup

Cost = $0.80

Markup rate = 100% or 1

Selling Price = 0.80 + (0.80*1)

Selling Price = $1.60

So the distributor sells each pack of cards at $1.60 to the retailer.

Now to find the selling of the retailer, we need to use the selling price of the distributor.

Cost = $1.60

Markup rate = 80% or 0.80

Selling price =  1.60 + (1.60 * 0.80)

Selling price = $2.88

So the retailer sells each pack of cards at $2.88 to the customers.
