answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find the cost price

Let the cost price of the harmonica be \(x\). The original price (before discount) is \(x + 0.6x=1.6x\). The original price is \(24.98\), so \(1.6x = 24.98\). Solving for \(x\), we get \(x=\frac{24.98}{1.6}=15.6125\)

Step2: Find the price after discount

The price after discount (sub - total) is \(19.98\)

Step3: Calculate the markup percentage after discount

The markup amount after discount is \(19.98 - 15.6125 = 4.3675\). The markup percentage is \(\frac{4.3675}{15.6125}\times100\)
