Question 972833: The merchant has a standard 60% markup on her inventory she pays $20 a pair for dress shoes for how much does she sell the dress shoes Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Mark up is increasing the price
Pay $20 and marks them up 60%
That is $20*.60=$12
The selling cost is $20+$12=32.
These problems must be read carefully. Sometimes, it is a mark up, sometimes it is the price after the mark up, and the original price is needed.
