- $125 + ($125 x 2.88)
= $125 x 2.88
= 360
= $125 + $360
= $485
The pitcher was sold for a total of $485.00 at the online auction.
- 125=100%
to find out 88% do 125 x .88
which equals 110
200%= 125 x 2
250 and add them
250+110=360
Then you add 125 because it is above the bid
360+125=485
Answer is $485
- $485.00
(no work no credit)
- Easy!
288% = 2.88
125 x 2.88 = $360+125
$485 is the Selling Price for the Pitcher!
