Dana buys dress shirts from a clothing manufacturer for s dollars each, and then sells the dress in her retail clothing store at a 35% markup

a. write the markup as a decimal

b. write an expression for the retail price

c. what is the retail price of a dress shirt that dana purchased for 32.00

d. how much was added to the original price of the dress shirt?

To convert a percent to decimal:



35% markup means that the price increases by 35% from its original price, therefore:
Retail price


Substitute in 32 for



Either do or , since they are equal and both give the answer

Markup (what was added to the original price) = 

A. Because percents are the ratios of a given number to 100, you would divide 35 by 100, getting you a decimal of 0.35.

b. Now to get the total price. Because you are making it an ADDitional 35%, you would first say you have 100% of the original price, plus the extra 35%, getting a total of 135% the original. When divide by 100 the decimal form would be 1.35, which can then be plugged into an equation.

1.35s = retail price

c. Now that you have the equation, you just plug the given s value in. 

1.35(32.00) = $43.20

d.  You can now take the final price, and subtract the initial from it to find the change.

$43.20 - $32.00 = $11.20 added to the price

Idon't know the answer

Answerthe simplified expression isexplanationthe given expression is,let us deal with the bracket first.the two negatives in the parenthesis will become positive.the expression now becomes,we now expand the parenthesis to get,we group like terms to obtain,this simplifies to,
