40%c+c
that would be your expression

Answer: The expression for the retail price of a silver chain is 1.4c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of jewellery be c dollars.

Rate of mark up = 40%

So, Amount of mark up would be

\(\dfrac{40}{100}\times c\\\\=0.4c\)

So, Amount after mark up would be

\(c+0.4c\\\\=1.4c\)

Hence, the expression for the retail price of a silver chain is 1.4c.
