Markup = $4
b) markup as a percentage of cost is 33.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Markup
markup = selling price - cost
= $13 - 9
... markup = $3
Markup as a Percentage of Cost
To find the percent markup, divide the markup by the reference value and multiply the ratio by 100%. The reference value for markup is usually cost price, but sometimes may be selling price.
... markup / cost × 100% = 3/9×100% = 33 1/3% ≈ 33.3%
Y=20
You can plug in 11 for X and do the math from there on
Answer
Find out the what was his total cost .
To prove
As given
A tent was marked up 150% from an original cost of $52.
Last Friday, Ethan bought the tent and paid an additional 10% in sales tax.
Than the equation becomes
150 % is written in the decimal form .

= 1.5
10 % is written in the decimal form .

= 0.1
cost of the tent when 150% marked up from origianl price = 1.5× 52
= $ 78
cost of the tent = origianl cost + 150% marked up from origianl price
= $52 + $78
= $ 130
Sales price on the tent = $130 × 0.1
= 13
Total cost of the tent = $130 + $13
= $143
Therefore the cost of the tent is $143.
