Answer:
195
Step-by-step explanation:
I would tackle this question with cross multiplying.
x 65
--- = ------
300 100
The 300 is the price the customer will pay and x is the amount Jill bought it for. Because Jill wants a 35% markup, that means she is willing to pay 65% what her customers will pay (100-35=65). so we put the 65 over 100 on the other side of the equals sign and cross multiply it out.
100x=19500
Divide both sides by 100 and you get
x=$195
So your answer is: The most Jill Roe can pay for a bedspread is $195.
