65
$65 each and included a
60
%
60% markup to get the selling price. To the nearest dollar, what was the selling price for one camera?

Answer 1

To calculate the selling price of the cameras, we first need to determine the markup amount and then add it to the cost price.

1. **Cost Price**: \( C = 65 \) dollars
2. **Markup Percentage**: \( M = 60\% \)

The markup amount can be calculated as:

\[
\text{Markup Amount} = C \times \frac{M}{100} = 65 \times \frac{60}{100} = 65 \times 0.6 = 39
\]

Now, we add the markup amount to the cost price to get the selling price:

\[
\text{Selling Price} = C + \text{Markup Amount} = 65 + 39 = 104
\]

Thus, the selling price for one camera, rounded to the nearest dollar, is \( \boxed{104} \).
