Question

A grocer bought 25 bags of flour form a wholesaler he marked up the priced each bag by 1.50,sold all of the flour for total of 87.50 how much did the grocer pay the wholesaler for each bag of four

Answer 1

The grocer bought each bag of flour at $2. To get this, you would divide $87.50 by 25 to get how much he sold each bag for, which is $3.50. if you take 1.50, the mark-up, from 3.50, the sale price, you get 2, so each bag cost the grocer $2.
