Question 836537: The owner of a pizza parlor wants to make a profit of 80% of the cost for each pizza sold. If it costs $1.95 to make a pizza, at what price should each pizza be sold? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if you mean that the profit should be 80% of the cost of making the pizza.
1.80*1.95=3.51
or
if you mean that 80% of the selling price should be profit
.80(x)=(x-1.95)
x = 9.75
