Question

Which expression can be used to find the price of a $400 telescope after a 32% markup? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Option D

The expression can be used to find the price of a $400 telescope after a 32% markup is: 400 + 400 (0.32 )

Solution:

Given that,

Price of telescope = $ 400

Mark up = 32 %

To find: Cost after mark up

The formula used is:

Cost after mark up = Price of telescope + 32 % of Price of telescope

Therefore,

Cost after mark up = 400 + 32 % of 400

$\text{Cost after mark up } = 400 + \frac{32}{100} \times 400\\\\\text{Cost after mark up } = 400 + 0.32 \times 400\\\\\text{Cost after mark up } = 400 + 128\\\\\text{Cost after mark up } = 528$

Thus cost after mark up is $ 528 and expression is 400 + 400 (0.32 )
