The dollar mark-up is $4.70
The percent mark-up on cost is 102.17%
I need to know the cost as well as the selling price based on the information above and round to the nearest hundredth place.
------------------------------
That percent markup implies that that 2.17%x = 4.70 dollars
where x is the selling price.
------------------
EQUATION:
0.0217x = 4.70 deollars
x = $216.59 is the silling price before the markup
