Question

The local jewelry store marks up the price of a necklace by 65% before selling them. If the store paid the distributor $85 per necklace how much will a necklace cost in the store

Answer 1

In the store, the necklace will cost $140.25. This is because we are taking the price of 85$ and adding on an extra 65% of it to the number.

85(1.65) = 140.25
