Question

A store buys necklaces wholesale

for $32.40 a piece. The retail price
includes a markup of 75%. If the
store wants to make a profit of $500,
how many necklaces must they
sell?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

If the mark up is 75% then the price of a necklace is 56.7

the least they want to profit is 500

so the answer should be at least 9, because the price is over 55, which would be 550 if multiplied by 10
