Question

The cellular connection buys new model Z-phones for $80 each and sells them for $200. What is the percent markup, n, for the model z-phone?

Answer 1

250%

Explanation:

Hi there!

In order to solve this problem, we have to divide 200 by 80.

When we do this, we get 2.5. The number in the ones spot, in this case 2, would be worth 200%.

Now we have the 0.5

A half is equivalent to 50%, so we add those two percentages together to get 250%.

I hope this helps!
