Question

If the store paid $75 for a clarinet and sold it for $100, did the store mark up the price by 30%?

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

30% of $75 is $22.50 (0.3×75=22.5)

$75+$22.50=$97.50, not $100

So, the store did not mark up the price by 30% because the original price ($75) plus 30% more does not equal $100.
