The college bookstore paid $44.4 for the book
How to calculate the price paid for the book ?
A college store marks up the price it pays the publisher for a book by 35%
The selling price of the book is $60.00
Therefore the amount paid by the bookstore can be calculated as follows
( 35/100 + 1) x = 60
0.35+1x= 60
1.35x= 60
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 1.35
x= 60/1.35
x= 44.4
Hence the book store will pay $44.4 for the book
