A local shoe store buys shoes at a wholesale price and then marks them up 80% to calculate the retail price. The wholesale price varies, depending on the quantity of shoes purchased. (2 points)
Quantity
0-20 pairs 21-40 pairs 41-60 pairs 61-80 pairs 81 or more pairs
Wholesale Price $25.00 each $23.00 each $21.00 each $19.00 each $17.00 each (per pair)
Write an equation that could be used to find the retail price for each range. How do you know the equation will work consistently for each range? (2 points)
Let's denote the retail price as R and the wholesale price as W.
The equation that could be used to find the retail price for each range is:
R = W + (W * 0.8)
This equation calculates the retail price by adding 80% of the wholesale price to the wholesale price. Since the wholesale price varies depending on the quantity of shoes purchased, this equation will consistently work for each range because it takes into account the specific wholesale price for each range and applies a consistent markup of 80% to it.
Can you just answer the questions
Yes, sorry for the confusion. The equation that could be used to find the retail price for each range is:
R = (W * 1.8)
This equation multiplies the wholesale price by 1.8, which is equivalent to a markup of 80%. This equation will work consistently for each range because it applies the same markup percentage to the wholesale price, regardless of the specific wholesale price for each range.
Can you make this part shorter? This equation will consistently work for each range because the markup of 80% is applied to the wholesale price in a consistent manner. Regardless of the specific wholesale price, adding 80% of that wholesale price will consistently give the correct retail price. The equation is designed to account for the varying wholesale prices based on the quantity of shoes purchased, ensuring a consistent and accurate calculation of the retail price.
Yes, certainly! The equation will consistently work for each range because regardless of the specific wholesale price, adding 80% to the wholesale price will always yield the correct retail price. This equation is designed to account for the varying wholesale prices based on the quantity of shoes purchased, ensuring a consistent and accurate calculation of the retail price.

Apologies for the confusion. Could you please clarify what the next question is that is connected to this?
Using the formula from the first part, calculate the retail price for each quantity range.
