Let's solve the question step-by-step:
1. Identify the Initial Parameters:
- The jacket costs \[tex]$440.
- The markup percentage is 24%.
2. Convert the Percentage to Decimal:
- A percentage of 24% is equivalent to 24/100 in decimal form.
- \( \frac{24}{100} = 0.24 \).
3. Calculate the Markup Amount:
- To find the markup amount, multiply the cost of the jacket by the markup rate.
- Markup amount = Cost of jacket * Markup percentage.
- Markup amount = 440 * 0.24.
4. Perform the Calculation:
- \( 440 \times 0.24 = 105.60 \).
Thus, the markup on the new \$[/tex]440 jacket is \[tex]$105.60. So the correct answer is:
b. \$[/tex]105.60
