*Always remember to label and put your dollar sign.
How can that be? Kerry made a profit, but Nannette paid less than half his cost????
400 * 0.48 = 192
400 + 192 = ______ amount Nannette pays
first, you take the 400 and multiply that by .48 which equals 192 so then you do 192 plus 400 which equals 592 and there's ur answer!
To calculate the selling price that Nannette pays for the tree house, you need to add the profit to the cost to build the tree house.
First, calculate the profit:
Profit = Cost x Profit Percentage
Profit = $400 x 48% = $192
To find the selling price, add the profit to the cost:
Selling Price = Cost + Profit
Selling Price = $400 + $192 = $592
So, Nannette pays $592 for the tree house.
