A furniture dealer
purchased a desk for $150 and then set the selling price equal to the purchase
price plus a markup that was

    

40 percent of the
selling price.  If the dealer sold the
desk at the selling price, what was the amount of the dealer's gross profit
from the purchase and the sale of the desk?

    

 

    

(A)  $40

    

(B) 
$60

    

(C)  $80

    

(D)  $90

    

(E) $100

这题感觉很诡异，在考语言？

答案是D，我英语太差了，不晓得这个题到底要表达什么意思，也没搜到相关信息。。。

望大家指教。

I just calulated for (E) 100. Please comment ...

Markup = 40% of selling price ==> 
Cost = Purchase Price = 60% of selling price = $150 ==>
Selling Price=250 ==>
Gross Profit = 250 - 150 = $100.

A furniture dealer purchased a desk for $150 and then set the selling price equal to (=) the purchase price plus (+) a markup (涨价）that was 40 percent of the selling price.  If the dealer sold the desk at the selling price, what was the amount of the dealer's gross profit from the purchase and the sale of the desk?

Gross profit= sell
            price -purchase price=150-(150+40%150)=40% *150=60

good luck！

a markup (涨价）that was 40 percent of the selling price　　＝　０.4*selling price  不应该不应该不应该　是　（40%150）　吧。。。

我和楼主算的一样　，是　１００

我还是没明白：

卖价=150+150x40%

进价=150

利润=150x40%=60,为什么答案是100啊？

我刚刚看了prep上的这题，楼主答案给错了吧，这题答案是E

shuxuehai

Yes! The answer is E, I made a mistake...

Why E?

我还是没明白：

卖价=150+150x40%

进价=150

利润=150x40%=60,为什么答案是100啊？

设selling price =X
selling price =150+40% X
X =250
250-150=100
不知道楼主明白了吗?
