Question

The price of the computer was $52 on the day he bought it. The next day it had been marked up by 40%. What was the new price after the sale?

Answer 1

Answer: $70.80

Explanation:

This is a two-step equation. First, you need to find what 40% of 52 is. You do this by multiplying 52 by 0.40. Then you would get the answer 20.8, but that isn't the final answer. Next, you add 52 and 20.8 together to get the final solution.

Answer 2

72.8

Explanation:

52*1.4=72.8
