Explanation / Answer

let c(c) be the cost price of items purchased by zack,s(c) is the selling price ,profit % is 60.

s(c)=c(c)+60/100 c(c)=c(c)+0.6 c(c)=1.6 c(c)

s(c)=1.6 c(c)

selling price for $ 1.10 will be 1.6 * 1.1=1.76 $

Selling price for $ 2.40 will be 1.6*2.40=$3.84

selling price for $ 6.40 will be 1.6 * 6.40=$10.24

selling price for $11 will be 1.6* 11=$17.6

selling price for $ 15.70 will be 1.6*15.70=$25.12
