    The maximum amount that could be paid for the antique pitcher is $13.93 as shown by the workings in the explanation section below.

    Explanation:

    Since the maximum price that could be charged for the antique pitcher is $17, the most that could be paid in purchasing it, is given by the below formula:

    selling price * 100% / (100% + Markup%)

    =$17*100% / (100%+22%)

    =$13.93

    From the foregoing analysis, the markup in dollar terms is $17-$13.93=$3.07 which represents 22% of the cost price of the antique pitcher.
