Question

hi I need help it's also asking for the nearest hundredth on the bottom btw.

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Step 1:

A store pays $ 127. 53 for a Jedi outfit.

Assuming the store marks up the price 15 %.

We are asked to find the amount of mark-up? ( nearest hundredth)

$\begin{gathered} \frac{15}{100\text{ }}\text{ x \ 127. 53 = }\frac{1912.\text{ 95}}{100} \\ =\text{ \ 19 . 1295} \\ =\text{ \ 19. 13 ( nearest hunderdth )} \end{gathered}$

Step 2 :

The amount of the mark - up ( to the nearest hundredth ) = $ 19. 13
