Question

I need help FAST; It is the end of the semester (at 11:59pm) and I cannot fail.


1. Miss Firkin is selling her Nike Air Force Ones. She bought them online for $75.00, but they were too big for her and she's tripping all over herself (scuffing the tips). She needs to make some extra money to buy Halloween candy....She wants to mark up the sneakers 150%. What is she charging for them?

2. Miss Firkin went to Wal-Mart and iced cupcakes that were $12.99 a box had a sticker that said 30% off. How much is one box?
What did she pay for 3 boxes?

3. Now, what if the cupcakes are taxed as fast food items at a rate of 9%?

4. How much does she now spend on the 3 boxes?

5. Gas was $1.25 per gallon. Now it is $1.38 per gallon. What percent did it increase by? (really not that tricky)

Answer 1

1. I beleive it would be 187,5$, 75.00 + 150% = 187,5.

2. if rounding it would be 9.1$ she had to pay for one times 3 would be 27.3 for three boxes.

3. Not sure what this question is asking but I'll try my best so here: 27.3 +9% × 3 = 89.271 rounded would be 90$

4. 90$ if I did that correctly

5. 1.38 - 1.25 = 0.13 which I beleive would be 13%

0.13 as a percent woudl be 13%
