I Dont Understand Help A Little More Please ,

OpenStudy (pradipgr817):

let original cost be x and markup is 12% (which is calculated over original cost) so you have two costs x and 12% of x add both that is the amount of money you need to pay

So Its 49.64 Thats What I Got

OpenStudy (pradipgr817):

it should be more than 56.75 you add the markup cost i.e. 12% of 56.75 to 56.75 56.75+12% of 56.75
