Question

If the cost of the materials for a basic bar of soap is $2.50 and Lyndi sells each bar of soap for $4.50, what is the makeup percent?​

Answer 1

56%

Explanation:

2.50 / 4.50 = 0.555555555555556

A percentage is the first two numbers after the decimal, and if there are more number after the two, then round the second number up or down based on the third number. In this case, the third number is five, so you round the second number up to six.
