Question 707173
I think you mean 140% not 1400%


if 4500 dollars is the final price to the customers, then


1.4x = 4500


x = 4500/1.4


x = 3,214.28571


x = 3,214.29


So the store bought the ring for <font color="red">3,214.29 dollars</font> originally and applied a 140% mark up to get the price for consumers to be $4,500
