Question 974380
The book barn prices it's [sic] books by raising the wholesale price 55% and then adding 85 cents. What I'd [sic] the wholesale price of a paperback that sells for $5?
==========================
500 - 85 = 415 cents
----
W = wholesale price
--
415 = W + 0.55*W = 1.55W
W = 415/1.55
W =~ 293.55 cents
============================
PS  it's = it is
