Munsons sporting goods purchases bowling balls from the manufacture for a whole sale price of $65 each.The retail price of the bowling balls reflect a 60% increase over the whole sale price. What is the retail price of a bowling ball?

Respuesta :

Some price [tex]p[/tex] was increased by 60% to get $65.

So we get
[tex]p+p*\frac{60}{100}=65[/tex]
⇒[tex]1.6p=65[/tex]
⇒[tex]p=40.625[/tex]

which rounds to $40.63 as the retail price.
