Question

A new computer sells for699.00 on eBay. The markup is 30% on cost. What's the total cost of the computer sold on eBay

Answer 1

It should be 908.70 by my understanding

Answer 2

Convert the percentage to a decimal
30% = 0.3
multiply the original price by that decimal
699 x 0.3 = 209.7
add that number to the original price to get the total cost
699 + 209.70 = 908.70
the total cost is $908.70
