The selling price of an item is $390. It is marked down by 10%, but this sale price is still marked up from the cost of $270. Find the markup from cost to sale price.

find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'. To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price. Solve the equation and find the original amount 'x'.
