Question from Alesha, a parent: The buyer for a chain of stores purchased coffee tables in bulk, paying $\$18.00$ each. The store will sell each coffee table for $\$54.$ What is the markup percentage |
Hi Alesha,
The store bought each for $\$18.00$ and sold them for $\$54.00$ so the markup is $\$54.00 - \$18.00 = \$36.00.$ What is $\$36.00$ as a percentage os $\$18.00?$
