Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit.

Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water.

Let us say original price was $x.

Now price after markup is $2.

So we can make an equation like:

original price + markup price = price after markup

x + 60% of x =2

x + 0.6x =2

1.6x =2

dividing both sides by 1.6

x= 1.25

So original price was 1.25 dollars.

NISA [10]
<span>The answer is: the least amount is 105.35 and the greatest amount is 105.44. If the number after the one you want to round is 5 or bigger, you need to round up the number. For instance, 105.35 is rounded to 105.4 which is equal to 105.40. If the number after the one you want to round is smaller than 5, you need to round down the number. For instance, 105.44 is rounded to 105.4 which is equal to 105.40.</span>

mash [69]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i had a similar question

For each roll you start with paying 2 dollars and you only with 10 dollars one out of 6 rolls (on average). 

So the cost for one play is 2 dollars and your win is 10/6. 

Value is -2+10/6=-1/3 dollars

So you lose 1/3 dollars on average with each game

since you have no limited rolls u put 1/5

this from another question but both same just different numbers
