Fill in the blank The retail cost of a TV is 40% more than its wholesale cost. Therefore, the retail cost is _times the wholesale cost The retail cost is 1.4 times the wholesale cost. (Type an integer or a decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

let whole sale cost=100

retail cost=100+40% of 100=100+40=140

to find the ratio

(retail cost) / (whole cost) = 140/100=14/10=1.4

so retail cost=1.4*whole cost

or retail cost is 1.4 times the whole cost.
