The mark up on the whole sale price of a certain product is a percentage numerically equal to that price if the product retails for 1000, what is the whole sale price of the product?
----------------
1000% = 1000/100 = 10
----
Equation:
(wholesale price)(1000%) = retail price
w(10) = 1000
wholesale price = 100
