Ok, so I have a math assignment that is due on Monday (so in 2 days), but I don't understand it. Here are the instructions:

You buy a pair of jeans at a department store.
Jeans_____ $39.99
Discount___ -10.00
Subtotal____ 29.99
Sales Tax___ 31.94

I have the first two questions done for this question, and I just need help on the last one. Here it is:

The price of the jeans includes a 60% markup. After the discount, what is the percent of markup to the nearest percent?

The percent of markup is __%.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks!

I am guessing it’s 47%
