Answer 1

I don’t know the answer I just need to answer a question so I can ask one sorry

Answer 2

well, the markup is 1,776.33 - 1,315,80 = 461.33.

now, if we take 1315.80(origin amount), what is 461.33 off of it in percentage?

`\begin{array}{ccll} Amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 1315.80 & 100\\ 461.33& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{1315.80}{461.33}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 1315.8x=46133\implies x=\cfrac{46133}{1315.8}\implies x\approx 35`
