the best way i learned to solve a problem like this is to use the "IS / OF = % / 100" rule. First you make a sentence: What is 17% of 31.55. So your 'IS' would be X, your "OF" would be 31.55, and 17% / 100. Your equation would look like two fractions: X/31.55 = 17/100 and you just solve for X: turn your 17/100 into a decimal (divide 17 by 100 = .17). multiply both sides by 31.55 and you end up with X = 5.36 which is 17% of 31.55

take $31.55 and multiply by either .17 or 17% and you get 5.3635, rounded to the nearest cent would be $5.36 markup.

31.55* (17/100)=5.36
Total retail price= 31.55 + 5.36 = $36.91

do 17% of 31.55 and then add it to wholesale price.
.17*31.55=5.3635
5.3635+31.55=36.9135
36.91
