Question

$44 marked up by 40%

Answer 1

The original price is $44
Marked up means increased

The new price = 40% of 44 + 44
(40% of original price + original price)

40% of 44
40/100 * 44
17.6

17.6 + 44 = 61.6

Thus the new increased price is $61.6

The general formula to help you
Percentage of increase*original + original

Answer 2

You will take 44+(40/100 * 44) = 44 + 17.6 = $61.60 ($61.60 is going to be the retail price of the lamp).
