Answer:

$56.25

Explanation:

We can find the marked up price from the original price, given the percent mark up with the following equation:

new price = (original price) × (100% + mark up)

plugging in the given values

new price = $45 × (100% + 25%)

↓ executing the addition

new price = $45 × 125%

rewriting using the definition of a percent: a% = a ÷ 100

new price = $45 × 1.25

↓ executing the multiplication

new price = $56.25
