Question

At Marvin's Motorcycle's a pair of gloves sell for $85. Marvin purchases them from the manufacturer for $50. What is the percent markup on the gloves?

Answer 1

Answer:

60% more.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you know 50 divided by 2 is 25, so add that to 50 to get 75. then you need to add ten more so you divide 50 by 5. so then 25+5 is 30 and 30 is 60% of 50 so it is marked up by 60% more.

Answer 2

Answer:

Maybe 58.82%

Step-by-step explanation:

50*100= 5000, 5000/85= 58.82
