A candy store uses a 50% markup on cost. Find out the owners cost of a candy bar that sells for $1.50.

The owners' cost of the candy bar is $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the owners' cost of the candy bar is 100%

∵ The owners' cost of the candy bar is 100%

∵ The candy store uses a 50% markup on cost

∵ The selling cost = owners' cost + markup

∴ The selling cost = 100% + 50% = 150%

∵ The candy bar sells for $1.50

→ That means 1.50 is 150% of the owners' cost

∴ 1.50 = 150% × owners' cost

→ Change 150% to decimal by divide it by 100

∵ 150% = 150 ÷ 100 = 1.50

∴ 1.50 = 1.50 × owners' cost

→ Divide both sides by 1.50

∴ 1 = owners' cost

∴ The owners' costs = $1

∴ The owners' cost of the candy bar is $1
