To calculate the markup on the cost, we need to find 65% of $125.
Markup = 65/100 * $125 = $81.25
To find the customer's price, we add the markup to the cost price:
Customer's price = Cost price + Markup = $125 + $81.25 = $206.25
Therefore, the customer will pay $206.25 for the lamp.
The correct answer is option B: $206.25.
A furniture store purchases a lamp for $125. The store needs a 65% markup on cost.
Considering the 65% increase, what will a customer pay for the lamp?
