Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A skateboard costing $39.00 marked up 40% on cost.

40% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.40

Markup price = 0.40 ×  Cost of the skateboard

                      = 0.40 × 39

                      = $15.6

As

1 dollar = 100 cents

Now convert 15.6 dollars into cents .

$15.6 = 15.6 × 100 cents

         = 1560 cents

Thus markup price is 1560 cents .

Selling price of the items = Original cost of the skateboard + Markup price  

                                          = $39 + $15.6

                                          = $ 54.6

As

1 dollar = 100 cents

Now convert 54.6 dollars into cents .

$54.6 = 54.6 × 100 cents

         = 5460 cents

Thus selling price of the skateboard is 5460 cents .

Therefore the markup price of the item is  1560 cents  and the selling price of the skateboard is 5460 cents .
