  Solution
Markup is defined as the difference between the selling price and the cost price in order to calculate the profit by the merchants
Markup percentage is defined as the markup value/ cost price * 100
7) Cost = $113, Selling Price = $132.21
Markup = Selling Price - Cost Price
=> $132.21 - $113
=> $19.21
Markup Percentage = $19.21/$113 * 100 = 17%
Hence the correct answer is Option C
8) Markup= $24.87, Selling Price = $88.99
Markup = Selling Price - Cost Price
$24.87 = $88.99 - Cost Price
Cost Price = $88.99 - $24.87 = $64.12
Markup Percentage = $24.87/$64.12 * 100 = 38.8%
Hence the correct answer is Option A
