A store is instructed by corporate headquarters to put a markup of 25% on all items. An item costing 8$ is displayed by the store manager at a selling price of 2$. As an employee, you notice that this selling price is incorrect. Find the correct selling price. What was the manager's likely error?

the correct selling price is $10

And, the error is that the manager put the markup percentage as a selling price instead of adding up the markup to the cost price

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

Markup = 25%

Cost of an item = $8

Selling price of an item = $2

Based on the above information

The amount of markup would be

= 25% × 8%

= $2

Now amount after markup is

= $2 + $8

= $10

Hence, the correct selling price is $10

And, the error is that the manager put the markup percentage as a selling price instead of adding up the markup to the cost price

step-by-step explanation:

not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. so proving is like doing science, it is science. that's why it is important to prove. 

an inaccurate proof leads to errors, or stating results that are not accurate.  which wil mess the probelm up you dont want this
