2 answers:
Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit.
Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water.
Let us say original price was $x.
Now price after markup is $2.
So we can make an equation like:
original price + markup price = price after markup
x + 60% of x =2
dividing both sides by 1.6
x= 1.25
So original price was 1.25 dollars.

Answer:
1627190
Step-by-step explanation:
(see attached for reference)
Given the number 1627187, we can see that the number in the tens place is the number 8.
How we round this depends on the number immediately to the right of this number. (i.e the digit in the ones place)
Case 1: If the digit in the ones place is less less than 5, then the number in the tens place remains the same and replace all the digits to its right with zeros
Case 2: If the digit in the ones places is 5 or greater, then we increase the digit in the tens place and replace all the digits to its right with zeros.
In our case, the digit in the ones places is 7, this greater than 5, hence according to Case 2 above, we increase the digit in the tens place by one (from 8 to 9) and replace all the digits to its right by zeros giving us:
1627190
