Compute for this amount

Question

shays customers are only willing to spend 400 per hour for massages. If she is targeting a 20% mark up on selling price, she should limit her costs including the fee of masseuse and the massage ouls to be used at a certain amount. Compute for this amount

Answer 1

If x is the cost of the masseuse and massage oils, and she is charging 20% more than that, then what she's really charging is 1.2x. And since she wants that to equal $400, you can write the equation:

 

1.2x = 400

Divide by 1.2 on both sides to get

x = $333.33

 

So, the massage oils combined with the cost of the masseuse should not equal more than $333.33
