Question

During the month of February a flower store marked up the prices of all their flowers. One red rose normally costs $4.40, but it cost $6.16 in February. What was the markup percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a 40% markup.

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of $4.40 is $1.76

$1.76 + initial price of $4.40 is $6.16

You can find this out by dividing 6.16 by 1.76 to get 1.4

1.4 = 140% ( 40% markup )
