Answer:

$3.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup is the difference between the Sales Price of the box of cards and its Unit Cost. It is expressed as a percentage above the cost, through the following expression.

[tex]Markup\ Percentage = \frac{Sales\ Price - Unit\ Cost}{Unit\ Cost} \times 100\%[/tex]

Given the Markup Percentage is 30% and the Unit Cost is $3, the Sales Price is:

[tex]30\%=\frac{Sales\ Price - \$ 3}{\$ 3} \times 100\%\\0.30 =\frac{Sales\ Price - \$ 3}{\$ 3}\\\$0.90 = Sales\ Price - \$ 3\\Sales\ Price = \$3.90[/tex]
