Question

A department store sells a pair of shoes with an 87% markup if the store sells the shoes for 193.21 then what is their non-markup price

Answer 1

103.32

Explanation:

p = non-markup price of shoes

0.87p = amount of markup

selling price = p + 0.87p = 193.21

1.87p = 193.21

p = 103.32

check: p + 0.87p = 193.21?

103.32 + 89.89 = 193.21? YES
