SOLUTION
Step 1:
A store pays $ 127. 53 for a Jedi outfit.
Assuming the store marks up the price 15 %.
We are asked to find the amount of mark-up? ( nearest hundredth)
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{15}{100\text{ }}\text{ x \$ 127. 53 = }\frac{1912.\text{ 95}}{100} \\ =\text{ \$ 19 . 1295} \\ =\text{ \$ 19. 13 ( nearest hunderdth )} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 2 :
The amount of the mark - up ( to the nearest hundredth ) = $ 19. 13
