Question 379677: A children's store sells a toy racetrack for $94.25. The owner uses a 45% markup based on cost. What was the wholesale cost of the racetrack? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What that means is that the store owner marks up his cost by 45%, so that the final price of the set is 145% of his cost.
Merely dividing $94.25 by 1.45 yields the answer, $65.
