Question

A computer store pays $6 for a computer mouse. The percent of markup is 75%. How much will the store sell the mouse to the public?

Answer 1

$10.50

Explanation:

First, think about what your answer is. It isn't just how much more the store is charging, but the total amount they are charging, so instead of using just 75%, we need to use 175% to show that we also need to add on the amount they paid for it. It sounds confusing, but stay with me! Now, convert that 175% to a decimal, 1.75. Finally, multiply the starting price ($6) by 1.75.

Answer 2

See Bottom

Explanation:

You should take $6 x 0.75 to get 4.5

And then add, 6 + 4.50 = $ 10.50 total price!

Hope this helps!
