A store owner buys a case of 144 pens for $28.80. He sells the pens for $0.40 each. The owner claims that they marked the pens up by 50% before selling them. Prove that the owner calculated their markup correctly. If they did not, how much of a markup actually occurred?

$0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The owner buys 144 pens for $28.80 i.e. each pen costs

owner sells the pen at $0.4 i.e. price marked up by

So, the claim of the owner is incorrect

The actual increase in the price to get 50% markup

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )

step-by-step explanation:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
