Question

The original cost of an item is $64, but you have to pay $78.08. What is the markup of the item ( and a percent)?

Answer 1

$14.8 was the markup, And the price went up in 22%, how I got my answer!

I first found that adding $64+$14.8=$78.8, and for percentage, that took awhile. At first I thought that it would be 20% but upon further investigation I found that, 22% Of $64 is $14.8.

I hope this helps!

P.S. 20% of $64 is $12.8.
