Patrick Hawkins · Answer 1

Retail Price = $155

Step-by-step explanation:

The retail price is 55% MORE than the manufacturer buying price.

The manufacturer buying price is $100. So the retail price would be 55% MORE.

Firstly,

55% in decimal is:

55/100 = 0.55

Now 55% of 100 is:

0.55 * 100 = $55

So, the retail price is $55 MORE, so the retail price is:

100 + 55 = $155

Retail Price = $155
