Answer 1

the couch would be 163.85

Answer 2

Answer: The manager sold the couch at $163.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Wholesale price of the couch = $113.00

If Jessica's Furniture Store marks up all furniture by 45%.

So, Increment in whole sale price is given by

$\frac{45}{100}\times 113\\\\=\frac{5085}{100}\\\\=\ 50.85$

So, the manager sold the couch at the price is given by

$\ 113.00+\ 50.85\\\\=\ 163.85$

Hence, the manager sold the couch at $163.85.
