    So percent means parts ouf of 100

    x%=x/100

    so marked up form original to new price

    100%=original

    marku=35%

    new price=100+35=135%

    new price=59.40

    so therefor

    59.40=135/100 of original price

    'of' means mutiply

    replace 'origional price' with x

    59.40=135/100 times x

    simplify 135/100 to 27/20

    59.40=27/20 times x

    mutiply both sides by 20/27 to clear fraction

    1188/27=x

    44=x

    original price=$44

    The original should be 80.19. All you do is make the 35% to a decimal (move the percent sign twice to the left to make it. 35) and then you add it to the 59.40. (.35*59.40) That should be 20.79. You then add and then that is it. (20.79+59.40)
