Dean paid $56.50 including tax for the necklace.

Markup percentage

Markup percentage is given by:

Markup = [(selling price - cost price)/cost price] * 100%

Let x represent the store selling price, hence:

110% = (x - 23.52)/23.52 * 100%

1.1 = (x - 23.52)/23.52

x = $49.39

Money paid by Dean = x + 14.75% of x = 49.39 + (0.1475 * 49.39) = 56.60

Dean paid $56.50 including tax for the necklace.
