Answer: 1,983.75

First option

Explanation:

In order to find markup you convert the percentage to a decimal: 0.15.

You multiply 1725 by 0.15 and you get 258.75. This is the markup. In order to get the total cost, you add the original price with the markup price.

1725 ( original price ) x 258.75 ( markup price ) = 1,983.75 ( total cost with the markup )
