Question

A market buys bags of mixed candy for $12.50 per pound. The market wants to make a profit of 22%.

Answer 1

Answer:

$15.25

Step-by-step explanation:

100% = 12.5

1% = 0.125

22% = 2.75

12.5+2.75=15.25

Answer 2

First you have to know how much 22% equals

$12.5(0.22)=2.75$

Now that we know how much it is equivalent to, we just have to add the equivalence to the initial value

$12.5+2.75=15.25$
