Allie buys a dress at the Wholesale price of $38.15.She marked the dress with a retail price of $88.15.What was the percent marked up? Round to Whole Number

Question

I dont understand how to set it up. I've been working on this for a while now to be honest ( tbh ) . and it's just really confusing

Answer 1

Johanna, to find a percent, divide the difference by the original amount, then multiply by 100.

 

(50/38.15) × 100 = 131%

 

Hope this helps!
