A music store marks up the instruments it sells by 30%.

1) If the store bought a guitar for $45, what will be its store price?
2) If the store bought a trumpet for $80, what will the price be in the store?
3) How much will the store make off the sale of the guitar and the trumpet?

Answer 1

the guitar is now $58.5, the trumpet is now $104 both together is $162.5
