Answer 1

Please HELP SOMEONE

Answer 2

selling price = 88.50
buying price = 59
markup is the difference = (88.50 -59)

So the markup is 29.50 dollar
you need
percent markup on selling price
so you need the markup expressed as a percentage of the selling price
That is the markup divided by the sellingprice, and the outcome multiplied by 100

Answer 3

Camille’s percent markup on selling price is therefore

100*29.50/88.50 = 33.33%
rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent
