<PRE><B>Question 1007699</B>
a retailer employs a pricing scheme where the ticketed price of items in the store is made up in the ratio, Cost :profit : GST = 7:3:1. for an item costing $35 what is the ticketed price
---
7:3:1 is the same 7x:3x:x
--------
Since cost is 35, 7x = 35
x = 5
-----
Since GST = x, the ticketed price = $5
----------
