The original should be 80.19. All you do is make the 35% to a decimal (move the percent sign twice to the left to make it .35) and then you add it to the 59.40. ( .35*59.40) That should be 20.79. You then add and then that is it. (20.79+59.40)
so marked up form original to new price 100%=original marku=35% new price=100+35=135% new price=59.40 so therefor
59.40=135/100 of original price 'of' means mutiply replace 'origional price' with x 59.40=135/100 times x simplify 135/100 to 27/20 59.40=27/20 times x mutiply both sides by 20/27 to clear fraction 1188/27=x 44=x
All you have to do is take 45$ and divide it by 1/3 then when you get that answer divide it by 1/4 to get your answer. So I believe your answer will be less than a dollar.
