This is what I have so far but it didnt turn out write got the answer wrong: (Part C)

Apple Computer sells computers for 1258, assuming computers cost 10788 per dozen, find for each computer a) dollar markup b0 percent markup on cost and c) percent markup on selling price (nearest hundredth percent)

A:
10788/12 = 899
1258.60-899 = 359.60

B:
359.60/899 = .40

C:
359.60/1258.60 = .286

No answer in book.

Its 1258.60 not 1258.00 good catch.

Part A and B are right but keep getting the C wrong.

Have tried, .286, .28, 28.60, 28.6 and the computer says its not right

Part C r u saying I should have carried out four decimal places to get .2857?

Sorry: try this

Also have PFS Fitness bought a treadmill for $700. PFS Fitness has a 70% markup on selling price. what is the selling price of the treadmill (to nearest dollar) I am having trouble understanding this question. "Have PFS bought" makes no grammatical sense, nor does "PFS bought for 700 has," nor do I know what PFS stands for.

i get 1190 have tried 1190, 1190.00 but says it not right ugh
