A store buys a pair of pants from a manufacturer for $35.00 and marks them up 65%. What is the price the customer must pay? Write a proportion or an equation to solve.

Respuesta :

Costumer must pay $ 57.75

100%-----------35
165%-----------x

100x = 35x165
100x = 5,775
X= 57.75 The proportion is 35/100 = x/165
