    525%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The relationship between the variables is ...

    cost + markup = selling price

    cost + 84% (selling price) = selling price

    cost = selling price (100% - 84%) = 16% (selling price)

    Then the markup based on cost is ...

    markup/cost = (84% (selling price)) / (16% (selling price)) = 84/16

    markup/cost = 5.25 = 525%
