1) Take the perimeter and divide it by 4.
2) Take the answer from step 1 and square it (multiply by itself)
Answer:
$96.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
markup = 30%
cost price= $125
let the cost price before markup be x
125-30/100*x= x
125-0.3x= x
125= x+0.3x
125= 1.3x
divide both sides by 1.3
x= 125/1.3
x= $96.15
Hence the price before markup is $96.15
