C is close, but not quite. The correct answer is actually D: "the retail cost of the computer is 32% of the wholesale price." Remember, the question stated that the retail cost is 32% more than the wholesale cost, which means the retail cost is 132% of the wholesale price. So, while 132% is correct, it is more accurate to say that the retail cost is 32% of the wholesale price, not 132%. Keep working on those math skills!
To double-check your answer, let's first analyze the given information. It states that the retail cost of a computer is 32% more than its wholesale cost.
To determine the retail cost, you need to add 32% of the wholesale cost to the wholesale cost itself. Mathematically, this can be expressed as follows:
Retail cost = Wholesale cost + 32% of Wholesale cost
Now let's evaluate the options:
1. The retail cost of the computer is 132% more than the wholesale price.
This option implies adding 132% of the wholesale price to the wholesale price, which is incorrect. We only need to add 32%, not 132%.
2. The wholesale cost of the computer is 68% if the retail price.
This option suggests that the wholesale cost is 68% of the retail price, which is not what the information states. It states that the retail cost is 32% more than the wholesale cost, not the other way around.
3. The retail cost of the computer is 132% of the wholesale price.
This option implies that the retail cost is 132% of the wholesale price, which is incorrect. It is 32% more, not 132% more.
4. The retail cost of the computer is 32% of the wholesale price.
This option states that the retail cost is 32% of the wholesale price, which is also incorrect. The retail cost is 32% more, not equal to the wholesale price.
From the analysis, it appears that none of the options are correct. Please review and double-check your answer.
