The Quick Plumbing Supply sells a set of faucets for $79.75. If a 45% markup based on cost was used, what was the cost of the faucets to Quick Plumbing? (Round to the nearest cent.)

Ummm I will go through the answer again

Cost*1.Markup = Selling price so we know that the markup is 45% which is .45 and that our selling price is 79.75 so our equation is Cost*1.45=79.75 Cost=79.75/1.45 Cost=55
