Answer:

$8.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiply the wholesale price for a pillow by the marked-up the wholesale price

$4.50 × 80% = 3.6  

  • Set up a fraction, let "x" be the variable

[tex]\frac{4.50}{x}=\frac{100\%}{80\%}[/tex]

  • The reciprocal of both sides gives

[tex]\frac{x}{4.50}=\frac{80}{100}[/tex]

x = 3.6

Step 2: Add the result to the wholesale price for the pillow

4.50 + 3.6 = 8.1

Step 3: Round to the nearest cent

Add a zero behind the result = 8.10

Therefore, the price of the pillow in the department store is $8.10
