Answer:

180%

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = percent of markup

102.56/56.98 = x/100

Cross multiply

102.56 × 100 = 56.98 × x

10,256 = 56.98x

Divide both sides by 56.98:

179.99297.... = x

Round to nearest whole number:

180 = x

Check your work:

56.98 × 180%

Convert the percentage into a decimal:

56.98 × 1.80

102.564

Round to nearest cent:

102.56

Correct!
