Answer:
55
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = 50 and percent markup is 10%
The increase is the original price times the percent markup
increase = 50 * 10%
increase = 50*.10
= 5
The new price is the original price plus the increase
new price = 50 + 5
= 55
PLUG in the numbers
4.5=500 x R x 2.5
divide both sides by 500
0.009=R x 2.5
divide 2.2 to both sides
R=.0036
In percent you have to multiply by 100 which is 0.36%
