Answer 7

"To add markup percentage to your cost of goods, first multiply the cost of one unit of the product by the markup percentage. Add the resulting dollar amount to the cost of the good to determine the price." http://smallbusiness.chron.com/add-markup-percent-product-64361.html

Lets put that as an equation:
\[newPrice = oldPrice * percentMarkup + oldPrice\]if you now solve for percentMarkup you get
\[percentMarkup = \frac{ newPrice }{ oldPrice} - 1\]
Insert the values and you get
pm = 70/35.5 -1 ~ 97.183
