Final answer:

Jane Westerlund's markup on each frame is $64, giving a total markup of $640 for all 10 frames.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane Westerlund owns a small retail picture frame store and she bought 10 picture frames for $36 each. The markup on these frames, when sold for $100 each, can be calculated as follows:

  • Selling Price per frame: $100
  • Cost Price per frame: $36
  • Markup per frame: Selling Price - Cost Price
  • Markup per frame: $100 - $36 = $64
  • Total Markup for 10 frames: Markup per frame x Quantity
  • Total Markup: $64 x 10 = $640
