Question 6 :
Janelle sells sandwiches She spends
$270 per sandwich on Ingredients and
then adds a 110% markup. What is the
selling price of one sandwich?




Sagot :

Answer:

$5.67

Step-by-step explanation:

$5.67

Markup refers to the amount added to the cost price to cover overheads and profit. So for example a 50% markup on a $10 product would mean adding 50% of $10 onto the sale price. As fractions can be written as decimals (50% = 0.5) and we are adding on the amount of markup to the initial cost we can also phrase this as 10 x 1.5 = 15  

For your question, the markup would become 1.1 and the initial cost is 2.7, remembering we must add 1 to the markup to cover the initial cost  

2.7 x 2.1 = 5.67
