Answer:

£553

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost of Brian's guitar as £316, if he wants a 75% mark up on the cost, therefore the asking price for his guitar will be;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Asking price}=316+(75\text{\% of 316)} \\ =316+((75)/(100)*316) \\ =316+(0.75*316) \\ =316+237 \\ =553 \end{gathered}$
