Answer:
$50.85.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Jessica's Furniture Store buys a couch at a wholesale price of $113.00. The markup rate at Jessica's Furniture Store is 45%. We are asked to find the markup for the couch.
[tex]\text{Markup}=\text{Original cost}\times \text{Markup percent}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Markup}=\$113\times 45\%[/tex]
[tex]\text{Markup}=\$113\times \frac{45}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Markup}=\$113\times 0.45[/tex]
[tex]\text{Markup}=\$50.85[/tex]
Therefore, the mark-up for the couch us $50.85.
