Question

The store owner buys clothes at wholesale and adds 80% to the wholesale price to set the retail price. The retail price of a pair of pants is $36.00. What is the wholesale price?

Answer 1

Answer:

$7.2 A.t a wholesale

Step-by-step explanation:

80%of $36

The mathematical order is :

80÷100×36

80÷100×36=$28.8

When we have found the 80% that is added

We subtract it from the retail price.

$36-$28=$7.2

At the end we are left with our wholesale prices.
