Question

A fruit seller marks up all fruit he sells by 25% above the whole sale price he pay to the farmer. Write an equation that you could use to determine the price of fruit sold by the fruit seller if you know the price he paid the farmer. Use x to represent the whole sale price and y to represent the selling price.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1.25y

Step By Step

whole sale price = x

selling price = y

since the whole sale price is 25% (0.25) more than the selling price,

x=y+y0.25, or x=1.25y
