Randy’s convenience mart buys lemon fizz, a cold beverage, in 2-liter plastic bottles for $1.00. they use a 50 percent selling price markup, meaning that consumers pay randy's per bottle.

a) $0.50 b) $3.00 c) $1.25 d) $1.50 e) $2.00

d) $1.50

Explanation:

To calculate what the consumers pay the Randy's mart we do the following,

Purchase price = $1, this is what the Randy's mart pays to buy the bottle they add 50% markup to retail.

The total price the consumer then pays = 1 * 1.5 = $1.5

This is the total marked up price that the consumers pays Randy's per bottle of Lemon Fizz.

Hope that helps.

(D) $1.50

Explanation:

50% of $1 = $0.5

Then $1 + 0.50 = $ 1.50

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
