The wholesale price for a bookcase is $162. A certain furniture store marks up the wholesale price by 15% . Find the price of the bookcase in the furniture store. Round your answer to the nearest cent, as necessary.

The given are:

$167 = wholesale price of a chair

18% = off of the wholesale price

x = price of the chair

so,

167(1-.18) = x

167(0.82)=x

x = 136.94

Explanation:

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
