我想我是昏了...為什麼60*5/4算不對呢? 我的答案是C...

偷偷改了一下...不要砍我的問題~~

答案是(B)沒錯~~
注意題目是說25%of the selling price, not the cost
設mark up=x
x=o.25(60+x)
x=20
60+20=80

Ans:B

小弟猜想您應該是把上面紅色那句話看成:
markup amount that is 25 percent of the cost
但題目問的是:
markup amount that is 25 percent of the selling price
要小心喔....


所以 S - 25%S = 60 ==> S = 80

我第一時間也是算75...看來還是不夠細心...
