What is the retail price of a couch at a furniture store that has a wholesale price of $115 and is marked up by 75 percent?

Respuesta :

You would multiply the $115 by 1.75 to get $201.25 for the retail price

Answer:

The retail price of the couch is $ 201.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the wholesale price of the couch = $ 115,

Marked up rate = 75 %,

So, the total marked up = 75 % of wholesale price

= 75 % of $ 115

[tex]=\frac{75\times 115}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{8625}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\$ 86.25[/tex]

Hence, the retail price of the couch = The wholesale price + Total marked up

= $ 115 + $ 86.25

= $ 201.25
