Question

Daria bought a bracelet at original cost $16 to sell in her handicraft store. She marked the price up 45%. What was the listprice of the bracelet?

Answer 1

Answer:

The list price is $23.2

Explanation:

The orignal cost of the bracelet is $16. First we need to find how much is 45% of the original cost $16, and then add this to the original cost to knwo the list price of the bracelet.

Step 1: Find how much is 45% of $16.

To find this percentage we divide $16 by 100 and then multiply by 45:

$\frac{16}{100}(45)=0.16(45)=7.2$

This means that the final price will be $7.2 more than the original.

Step 2: Find the list price.

We add the original price $16 and the added price of $7.2:

$16+7.2=23.2$

The list price is $23.2
