A) $400
B) $480
C) $4800

Respuesta :

B) $480

8,000*.06= 480

Answer:

B) $480

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a car seller buys a car from a manufacturer for $8,000. He increases the cost by 6 percent. We are asked to find the markup value.

We know that markup is original cost times markup percentage. So markup value for the car would be :

[tex]\text{Mark-up value of car}=\$8,000\times \frac{6}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Mark-up value of car}=\$80\times 6[/tex]

[tex]\text{Mark-up value of car}=\$480[/tex]

Therefore, the mark-up value for the car is $480 and option B is the correct choice.
