Question

A pair of shoes costs $15 to manufacture. If they are marked up by 30%, what will they sell for?

Answer 1

Answer:

$19.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase the number by 30% of its value.

Percentage increase = 30% × 15

New value =

15 + Percentage increase =

15 + (30% × 15) =

15 + 30% × 15 =

(1 + 30%) × 15 =

(100% + 30%) × 15 =

130% × 15 =

130 ÷ 100 × 15 =

130 × 15 ÷ 100 =

1,950 ÷ 100 =

19.5
