Question 1015228: A store gets a bucket of eggs for $16.20 and sells a dozen eggs for $3.50. If there are 450 eggs in the bucket, by what percent has the store increased the price per dozen eggs? Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I take it you know how many in a dozen?
Then, divide 450/dozen and then multiply the result times 3.50= money received from sale of eggs.
Take that total, subtract 16.20, and divide the result by 16.20 and multiply times 100 to get the percent markup (what you are looking for is called the markup)
