Question

Find the selling price of an $25 item after a 20% markup.

Answer 1

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

$25 item

Markup = Increase

The $25 is increased by 20%

Write 20% as a decimal

Decimal = % / 100

20/100 = 0.2

Multiply 0.2 by 25

0.2(25) = 5

We know that the price that it was marked up is $5

Add this to the original amount ($25) to find the final price after being marked up.

$25 + $5 = $30

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bf The~marked~up~price~is~ 30.}$The price will be $30.

Explanation:

To find the selling price, we must calculate 20% of $25 and add it to the price.

20% = 0.20

25 × 0.20 = 5

Add this number to the price of the item.

25 + 5 = 30
