Answer: The extra amount added to the selling price to arrive at the cost price.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mark up amount is the extra amount added by a seller to the cost price of a commodity to cover expenses and profit in fixing the selling price.

It is the difference between the cost price and the selling price.

It is calculated as a percentage of either the selling price or the cost price.

Hence, the right option is " the extra amount added to the selling price to arrive at the cost price".

What is the cost of 1 shirt if I have 3 shirts and 2 scarves totaling $94?

Pepsi [2]

Let x be the cost of 1 shirt and y be the cost of 1 scarf.

Since, 3 shirts and 2 scarves cost $94, we have,

3x + 2y = 94

Since the number of unknowns is greater than the number of equations (2 > 1), the above system has infinitely many solutions.

If t is the cost of 1 scarf, then

3x + 2t = 94

3x = 94 - 2t

x = $\frac{94-2t}{3}$

For different values for t, we will get different values for x.

Set t = 2.

Then, x = $\frac{94-2(2)}{3}$

= $\frac{94-4}{3}$

= $\frac{90}{3}$

= 30

So, if the cost of 1 scarf is $2, then the cost of 1 shirt is $30.
