Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.
We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.
(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3
This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.
Cost Price for oil change =$27
Charge for the customers =$40
Markup cost = Difference between selling price and cost price =$40-$27=$13
To find the percent of markup, divide the markup cost by the cost price and multiply it by 100.
Markup percent = (13/27)*100
=48.15%
Answer:
