1 answer

To find the final price of the shirt in the department store, we need to add the 90% markup to the wholesale price.

Markup = 90% of $5.50 = 0.90 * $5.50 = $4.95

Final price = Wholesale price + Markup
Final price = $5.50 + $4.95 = $10.45

Rounding this to the nearest cent, the price of the shirt in the department store is $10.45.
