You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, let's start with the information we know and what we're trying to figure out.
A pair of shoes = $63
Marked up = 40%
Thus, we are trying to figre out the total cost of the shoes. In order to find out what 40$ of $60 is, we mulitiply (of means to multiply). We then have our equation: (use BEDMAS to solve)
$63 + $63 * 40% = $63 + 25.20 = $88.20
Therefore, the cost of the pair of shoes is $88.20.
