Answer: third option: old pice was $170; new price is $159.12

Explanation:

1) Formula given:

Selling price = original cost + mark up value

2) Old price = original cost + 25% (original cost)

Old price = $136 + 35% ($136) = $136 + 0.25×$136 = $136 + 34 = $170

3) New price = original cost + 17% (original cost)

 = $136 + 17% ($136) = $136 + 0.17×$136 = $136 + $23.12 = $159.12

Answer:

Old price was $170; new price is $159.12

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 136 is 34

34 + 136 = 170

170 is the old price

17% of 136 is 23.12

23.12 + 136 = 159.12

159.12 is the new price
