The swimming club need to raise £135 for transport to the swimming gala.

They buy 20 tracksuits for £15.98 each and will sell them to raise money.

What percentage profit should they add to the cost of the tracksuits to raise the £135 they need?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The investment was

20(£15.98) = £319.60

After the sale, they want to have

£319.60 + £135.00 = £454.60

Which means each suit sells for

£454.60/20 = £22.73

The markup was

£22.73 - £20.00 = £2.73

which as a fraction of the purchase price is

£2.73/£20.00 = 0.1365

0.1365(100) = 13.65%
