Question 260187: a college bookstore marks up the price that it pays the publisher for a book by 35%. If the selling of a book is $92.00, how much did the bookstore pay for this book? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When the book store sells the book at $135 the purchase price would be $100. ( since mark up is 35%)
When they sell the book at $92 then the price will be
135--------- 100
92----------- ?
92*100/135
= $68.15
