Answer 2

150% markup off 464
remember that % means "per 100"

so 150% means "150 per 100" or (150/100)

multiply the original price by (150/100) to get the marked up price

from there, calculate 10% of the marked up price, or (10/100) * markup price. this is the sales tax. add this back onto the marked up price to get the final price.
