The store pays $27 for the waffle maker and marks up the price by 39%. To calculate the amount of the mark-up, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Mark-up amount} = \text{Original price} \times \frac{\text{Mark-up percentage}}{100}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Mark-up amount} = 27 \times \frac{39}{100} = 27 \times 0.39 = 10.53
\]

So, the amount of the mark-up is **$10.53**.
