A hobby store marks up remote-controlled cars 25%. The original
price was $30. What is the retail price to purchase a remote-
controlled car at the hobby store?
Explanation: 1. Turn 25% into a decimal by removing the “%” and placing a “0.” in front of it. (0.25) 2. Multiply the decimal (0.25) by the original price of the car (30). (0.25x30=7.5) 3. Add 7.5 to 30 to get the answer. (7.5+30=37.5=$37.50)
