Question

Al Shelf knows his goods are marked up 36 percent on cost. If a TV cost Al $280, what would the selling price be?

Answer 1

Hello!

ANSWER:

The selling price would be $380.80.

Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100.

36% ÷ 100 = 0.36

Find 36% of the cost of the TV:

280 × 0.36 = 100.8

Add:

280 + 100.8 = 380.8
