Barbara Duff manages a marina with her sister, Sheryl. To moor sailboats to the dock, the sisters needed rope. A maritime wholesaler was selling 5/8 inch twisted strand polypropylene rope in 500 foot rolls. The store had paid 123.64 per roll for the rope. For the sisters, the hardware store marked up the rope 20 above their cost. Compute the dollar markup and the selling price that the sisters would pay for one roll of the rope.

Question 2

A tourist from the United States wants to purchase a painting in Mexico City. The price of the painting was 5,927 pesos plus a shipping charge of 387 pesos to send the painting to the tourist's home. How many U.S. dollars would the tourist have to pay when the exchange rate was 10.812 pesos per U.S. dollar?
