The local bakery applies a 155% markup on all baked goods. If it costs them $3.50 to make a batch of cookies, what is their sale price?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Selling Price = $8.93

Step-by-step explanation:

Markup is the amount added to cost price to sell it for a greater price.

The markup formula is:

[tex]Markup \ Percentage = \frac{SP-C}{C}*100[/tex]

Where

SP is selling Price

C is cost

Given,

Markup Percentage = 155

C = 3.50

We find the sale price "SP" to be:

[tex]Markup \ Percentage = \frac{SP-C}{C}*100\\155=\frac{SP-3.5}{3.5}*100\\155=\frac{100SP-350}{3.5}\\155*3.5=100SP-350\\542.5=100SP-350\\100SP=892.5\\SP=8.925[/tex]

Rounding to nearest cent, we get:

Selling Price = $8.93
