WHEN I CHECKED MY ANSWER IT WAS WRONG. THERE WAS A CHOICE FOR THE ANSWER I CAME UP WITH. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO ACHIEVE THE RIGHT ANSWER. I TRIED TO WORK BACKWARDS TO GET IT BUT I CAN'T. I TRIED ALGEBRA AS WELL. IT JUST DOESN'T PAN OUT FOR ME. Reply (by Keith): Greetings visitor in Mississippi ! Here's the question you're asking about: A patient presents a prescription for Ibandronate 150mg #3. Your pharmacy has a 35% markup and $5.66 dispensing fee. The wholesale price is $15.70 per tab. What will the retail price be for this prescription of 3 tablets. A. $63.59 B. $47.10 C. $52.76 D. $69.25 Here is how to work out this one: 15.70 X 3 = $47.10 (Three Tablets) 47.10 X 1.35 = $63.59 (Apply the mark-up) 63.59 + 5.66 = $69.25 (Add in the disp. fee last)
