Question 95735
Write 2.85 as a percent? 
Percent means per 100; 100 must be in the denominator.
2.85[100/100] = 285/100 = 285%
----------------------------------------
An appliance dealer marks up refrigerators 20% ( based on cost). If the cost of one model is $500, what should it's selling price be?
selling price = 500 + 0.20*500
selling price = 500 + 100
selling price = $600
