The markup on a used car was at least 37% of its current wholesale price. If the car was sold for $4300, what was the maximum wholesale price?
---------------------
Equation:
wp + 0.37(wp) = 4300
---
1.37(wp) = 4300
wp = $3138.69
---
The wholesale price was at most $3138.69
if the markup was 37%.
If the markup was higher than 37% the
wholesale price was lower than $3138.69
==========================
Cheers,
