Find out what 95% of 99.5 is. "What is 95% of 99.5" is the question you
need to answer. Frame the equation using the words in that sentence.
"is" means equals, "of" means to multiply. So in translation, the
equation you are solving is x=.95(99.5). Now when you solve that, you
will get the dollar amount of the markup, but that is not the whole cost
of the sled. You have to add the mark up to the original cost of
99.50. Does that make sense?
