Question

a chalk board is marked up 150% from an original purchase cost of 80$ cara sold the chalkboard earning 14% commission on the sale price. how much commision did she make?

Answer 1

Hey! To do this, first we need to find our sale price. To do this. take the $80 and multiply it by 180% (1.8) because of the 80% markup and you get $144. Now, you need to find the commission. Take the $144 and multiply it by the 14% commission to get $20.16. Hope this helped!
