An Apple ipod sells for $299, which is marked up 40% of the selling price. The cost of the Ipod is what?
Softa [21]
This means that the original price is 60%, which we will use to calculate it.
299 (the discounted price) : x (the original price) = 60 % : 100 %
60x = 299 * 100
60x = 29900
x = 29900 / 60
<u>x = 498.33
</u>
<u />The cost of the Ipod is $498.33<u>
