The store purchases one popular type of leash from its manufacturer for $4.38 each.

Joseph Haydn Pets marks up leashes at a rate of 238% of cost.

238% is written in the decimal form .

[tex]= \frac{238}{100}[/tex]

= 2.38

Markup price = 2.38 ×  Cost of one popular leash

Putting all the values in the abpove

                      = 2.38 × 4.38

                     = $ 10.4 (Approx)

Retail price of the popular leash =  Cost of one popular leash + Markup price

                                                      = $4.38 + $10.4

                                                      = $14.78
