Question

A store sells a pair of boots for $125.80 after a 45% markup what was the cost to the store

Answer 1

125.8 times 0.45
it equals 56.61
i think so but i MIGHT be wrong
sorry if i am

Answer 2

You have to find the original price before the markup so
1x + .45x = 125.80
The 1x represents 100% and the .45 represents the 45% markup.
1.45x=125.80
divide both sides by 1.45
x = $86.76
