What's the question being asked here?
6. If 55% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (45%) is the cost. Gaitan can pay up to 45% of 489.50 = $220.28.
7. If 52% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (48%) is the cost. 48% of the selling price is $38.87.
... 0.48 × selling price = cost
... selling price = cost/0.48 = $38.87/0.48 = $80.98
8. If 40% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (60%) is the cost, $12.95.
... 0.60 × selling price = $12.95
... selling price = $12.95/0.60 = $21.58
9. If 35% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (65%) is the cost.

Answer- 8:5:7
Explanation:
Find the greatest common factor for all of them. Which is 6.
Then you just divide each number by 6
48/6= 8
30/6= 5
42/6= 7
Making it 8:5:7
Remember: when calculating percent it will always be over 100. With the given numbers 14 is your part out of the total (25). It should be written as part/whole.
As previously said, the percent is always over 100. (x/100)
In this problem you are given the part (14) and the whole (25). So it would be 14/25. The percent in this problem would be x/100. Now to find percent with the given part/whole, you would multiply 14 with 100. Then simply divide by 25.
