Given:

The owner of a sporting goods store has decided upon a 50-percent markup on all apparel.

Question asked:

How much will the store charge for bicycle shorts it purchased from the wholesaler for $10 each?

What did the store pay for running shoes that are selling for $75?

Solution:

Cost price of  bicycle shorts = $10

Mark up amount =  50% of $10

                            =

Selling price of bicycle shorts = Cost price + Mark up amount

                                      = $10 + $5 = $15

Thus, the store will charge $15 for bicycle shorts.

Selling price of running shoes = $75

Cost price of running shoes = ?

Mark up amount = 50% of Cost price

Selling price of running shoes = Cost price + Mark up amount

Thus, the store paid $50 for running shoes that are selling for $75.

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.
