Answer 1

`\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{69\% of 33}}{\left( \cfrac{69}{100} \right)33}\implies 22.77~\hfill~\underset{ \textit{selling price} }{\stackrel{ 33~~ + ~~22.77 }{\text{\LARGE 55.77 }}}`
