C: 60.9% is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup is calculated by using the formula

$Mark\ up=Selling\ price-make\ price$

Given

Make Price = $22.99

Selling Price = $36.99

So the mark up will be:

$Mark\ up=36.99-22.99\\=\$14$

Percent mark up will be:

$Mark\ up=\frac{Mark\ up}{Make\ price}*100\\=\frac{14}{22.99}*100\\=0.6089*100\\=60.89\%$

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth percent

60.9%

Hence,

C: 60.9% is the right answer
