Question

an industrial robotics company buys a high - performance microcontroller (the \brain\ of the robot) from a manufacturer for $145.00. the company doesnt just resell the part; they program it with custom ai navigation software. to cover the cost of their programmers and make a profit, they apply a 28% markup to the original purchase price. what is the final retail price for the \smart\ robot controller? $

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate markup amount

$\text{Markup} = 145 \times 0.28 = 40.60$

Step2: Add markup to cost price

$\text{Final Price} = 145 + 40.60 = 185.60$

Answer:

$185.60$
