A puppy is on sale at a pet store for ​$432​, marked down 10​% from an original selling price of ​$480. If the markup from cost to sale price was ​$72​, what was the​ cost? Use pencil and paper. How would you solve the problem if you were not given the sale​ price?

432 x 0.1 = 43.2
432-43.2= 388.8
Mark up
388.8 + 72 = 460.8
