If markup is 60% of the cost, you have
... markup = 0.60×cost
... markup/0.60 = cost
... $207.20/0.60 = cost = $345.33
_____
If markup is 60% of the selling price, the other 40% is the cost. So, the cost is 40/60 = 2/3 of the markup.
... cost = (2/3)×markup = (2/3)×$207.20
... cost = $138.13
_____
Markup can be specified in terms of either selling price or cost. Those are the usual reference values; there could be others. When only the percentage is given, you don't have enough information to work the problem. You need to know what it is a percentage of. (Example problems in your text may tell you the expected interpretation.)
The measure of angle A and C will be 94.5° and 85.5°.
<h3>How to calculate the angle?</h3>
(5y - 3) + (3y + 27) = 180
Collect like terms
5y + 3y - 3 + 27 = 180
8y = 180 - 27 + 3
8y = 156
y = 156/8 = 19.5
(5y - 3) = (5 × 19.5) - 3 = 94.5
(3y + 27) = (3 × 19.5) + 27 = 85.5
Therefore, the measure of angle A and C will be 94.5° and 85.5°.
