to change a number to % just move the decimal 2 places to the right.
2.85=285%
-----------------------------------------------------
500*1.20=$600 is the marked up or selling price.

Write 2.85 as a percent?
Percent means per 100; 100 must be in the denominator.
2.85[100/100] = 285/100 = 285%

selling price = 500 + 0.20*500
selling price = 500 + 100
selling price = $600
