Barbara Duff manages a marina with her sister, Sheryl. To moor sailboats to the dock, the sisters needed rope. A maritime wholesaler was selling 5/8 inch twisted strand polypropylene rope in 500 foot rolls. The store had paid 123.64 per roll for the rope. For the sisters, the hardware store marked up the rope 20 above their cost. Compute the dollar markup and the selling price that the sisters would pay for one roll of the rope.
