Question #eae0b

Answer 1

`$44.25`, (I'm not sure what currency you're using)

Explanation:

The cost of the aquarium is `$295`.

You are looking for a `15%` profit, which means that you will sell the aquarium `115%` of its original cost because:

`115% ("Cost you're selling it for")-100%("Original cost")=15%("gain")`

So mathematically, you would multiply `1.15 times 295` to determine the price you sold the aquarium for, which results in `$339.25`

Now you can plug it into the equation above.

`339.25-295= 44.25`

The `15%` gain is the `$44.25`.

Hope this helps
