If the wholesale price of a sweater is $35 and the retail price is 10% more, what is the retail price?

To determine the retail price of the sweater, you first need to calculate what 10% more than the wholesale price is. The wholesale price is $35.

Calculating 10% of the wholesale price involves multiplying $35 by 0.10.

[

0.10 \times 35 = 3.50

]

Now, to find the retail price, you add that 10% increase to the wholesale price:

[

35 + 3.50 = 38.50

]

Thus, the retail price of the sweater is $38.50. This amount accurately represents the increase from the original wholesale price, reflecting the additional cost that the retailer adds to cover expenses and profit.
