Question

Joe marked up all the shoes in his store by 15%. If a pair of shoes originally cost $45, what was the price after the markup?

Answer 1

Answer:

The price would be $51.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Joe is marking up by 15%, the price will increase for the pair of shoes.  Multiply 45 by 1.15 since you are increasing the price by 15% to get your final answer which is $51.75.
