• let total amount x then
  x%20+45=x-180
  then x=281
  markup %=(281-180)/180
  so ans is 0.55%.

• profit %=profit/C.P.
  20/100=profit/180
  then profit=36
  S.P.=C.P.+Profit
  S.P.=180+36=216
  Marked Price(M.P.)=S.P.+Discount
  M.P.=216+45=261
  so increase in marked=261-180=81
  so marked up increase percent=81/180=.45 or 45%
