Question 10 • DAEP - Math 7 A (20 DAY TERM)

A bookstore bought a case of 10 books for a wholesale price of $74. The bookstore will sell the books at a 20% markup. How much will they sell each book for?

Answer
A
$5.92
B
$7.38
C
$7.42
D
$8.88

Explanation

First find the wholesale cost per book: $74 ÷ 10 = $7.40. A 20% markup is $7.40 × 0.20 = $1.48, so the selling price is $7.40 + $1.48 = $8.88 per book. The correct choice is $8.88.
