The blue book has many prices in it. The one described here is not described as "cost", so it appears there is insufficient information.

If we assume the dealer's cost is $8400, then the markup is
.. (9550 -8400)/8400 * 100% ≈ 13.7%

Answer:

The answer is 13.69%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price quoted by the dealer = $9550

Price in the blue book = $8400

Difference in prices = [tex]9550-8400=1150[/tex] dollars

Now markup here means the amount added to the cost price of the car to get profit.

So, markup price is $1150.

And we will find $1150 in terms of percentage with respect to $8400.

This becomes:

[tex]\frac{1150}{8400}\times100= 13.69[/tex]%.

Hence, the answer is approx 13.69%.
