Nissan Appliances bought three dozen camcorders at a cost of $5,040. The markup on the camcorders is 30% of the selling price. What was the original selling price of each camcorder?

3 dozens = 36
Markup is 30% of selling price
Original selling price of each camcorder?
100% + 30% = 130%
Change 130% into a decimal, then multiply by 5040
5040 x 1.30 = 6552
Now divide 6552 by 36
6552/36 = 182
Each camcorder cost $182.00
Markup is 30% of selling price
Original selling price of each camcorder?
100% + 30% = 130%
Change 130% into a decimal, then multiply by 5040
5040 x 1.30 = 6552
Now divide 6552 by 36
6552/36 = 182
Each camcorder cost $182.00
Two forces of 60N and 80N
Take the price 5,040 and divide by the compliment of the markup.
$5,040/70% (or .70)=$7,200
Now divide the total ($7,200) by the three dozen (36)
$7,200/36=$200
Each camcorders original selling price was $200!
Hope this helps! :)
