The manager at gabriela's furniture store is trying to figure out how much to charge for a book shelf that just arrived. the book shelf was bought at a wholesale price of $147.00 and gabriela's furniture store marks up all furniture by 60%

Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

the book shelf cost was 147 bucks, well, 60% will be the markup, so the additional amount will just be 60% of 147, or (60/100) * 147.

add that to 147, and that's the retail price of the book shelf.

The answer is a because i went through all the other ones that it didn’t come out right
