Question

Mrs. Wright sold t-shirts for $12.00, which was a 30% markup from what she paid for each. How much did Mrs. Wright pay for each t-shirt originally? (remember to round to the nearest hundredth so it looks like money

Answer 1

She originally paid $3.60

Explanation:

She originally paid for them $3.60 before the markup of 30%.

We can use this equation
`12 x 0.3 = 3.60` to confirm our answer. We also add a zero at the end because we are using units of money.
