b. write an expression for the retail price

c. What is the retail price of a dress shirt that Dana purchased for 32.00

d. How much was added to the original price of the dress shirt?

Answered by maham237 @



To convert a percent to decimal:
\frac{\text{Percentage\ number}}{100} = \text{Decimal\ number}
35\%=\frac{35}{100} = .35

35% markup means that the price increases by 35% from its original price, therefore:
Retail price= s+.35*s
R = 1.35s

Substitute in 32 for s
R = 1.35(\$32)
R = \$43.2

Either do .35s or R-s, since they are equal and both give the answer
.35s = .35(32)
Markup (what was added to the original price) = \$11.2
