HELP ME FIND THESE ANSWER WITH WORKING

Respuesta :

a. $6800 + $1360= $8160 total cost

b.
$68.85 each * 165 bracelets = $11360.25
$11360.25- $8160 total cost = $11278.75 profit

$11278.75 profit/$8160 total cost= 1.38218
1.38218= about 138%

Final answer: 138%
Warning: This answer will vary if you find the percent over cost (not including duty).
