Walmart marked up a bottle of nail polish 150% in order to make a profit. If Walmart sells the nail polish for $8.75, what was the original cost of the polish?

Answer 7

These are all basically the same type of problem.
original price * (1 + markup) = new price

So, the first one is
p (1 + 0.35) = 59.40
p = 59.40/1.35 = 44.00

The second one is
p(1 - 0.25) = 27.00
p = 27.00/0.75 = 36.00

Now try the others, and show your work if you get stuck
