Answer:$48(0.55)—I promise this is correct. The others who answer $48(0.55)+$48 did NOT read the question correctly. The question reads: which expression should be used to find the AMOUNT OF THE MARKUP.
Step-by-step explanation:
correct answer:
$48(0.55)=$26.40 that is the amount of the markup.
wrong answer:
$48(0.55)+$48 if you add $26.40 to $48, you get the RETAIL price.
Not to brag, but we made A 100%. This is the correct answer. It really bugs me when they phrase these question so poorly. Especially when school systems like ours s don’t give us teachers who we can go to for assistance.
