Lauryn Steele · Answer 1

60% more.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you know 50 divided by 2 is 25, so add that to 50 to get 75. then you need to add ten more so you divide 50 by 5. so then 25+5 is 30 and 30 is 60% of 50 so it is marked up by 60% more.

Derek · Answer 2

Maybe 58.82%

Step-by-step explanation:

50*100 = 5000, 5000/85 = 58.82
