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.)

Find g(x) where g(x) is the translation 3 units right of f(x)=x^2
Fed [463]

Answer:

  g(x) = x^2 -6x +9

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f(x) translated right h units and up k units will become ...

  g(x) = f(x -h) +k

You want the function f(x) = x^2 to be translated right h=3 units, so it will become ...

  g(x) = f(x -3) = (x -3)^2

  g(x) = x^2 -6x +9
