Jalisa buys candles in bulk to sell in her store. Her cost for each candle is $9
. She marks up the candles 85%
. How much does Jalisa charge per candle?
To turn percentages into coefficients divide by 100, so 85% become .85. She marks them up or adds a cost of 85% so instead of using .85 we use 1.85. so 1.85 times initial cost of candle is 1.85*9=16.65
