Question

The cost of making a phone is $152. A store sells the phone for $281.20.

Select all the expressions that could be used to find the percentage of markup for the phone.

Answer 1

The store is selling the phone by 185% of its value...

Explanation:

You just gotta divide 281.20 (the value of the phone at the store), and divide it up by 152 (its original value). And multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

`((281.00)/(152))(100) = (1.85)(100) = 185%`%
