Question

A clothing store owner determines that he needs to mark up his jeans by 12%. What is the selling price of a pair of jeans that originally cost $15.25

Answer 1

Answer:$17.08

Explanation:

Initial cost = $15.25

Percentage increase =12% of $15.25 = (12/100) X 15.25 = $1.83

New selling price = 1.83+15.25=$17.08

Thus, his new price will be $17.08
