Explanation / Answer

Answer: - Given data

Actual cost = $800

Markup on selling price = 55%

Let us assume selling price be 100, in that markup is 55% so cost price percent = 100 - 55 = 45% is the cost price

Actual cost = $800 that is equal to 45%, so selling price = (100/45)*$800

= $1778 ( Rounded to nearest cent)
