How do stores make money?
Stores charge more for merchandise than they pay for it. Markup- the amount of increase from the amount the store pays for an item. Percent of markup is the markup in percent form.
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑢𝑝=% 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑢𝑝×𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑒 ′ 𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
Find the markup #1 $12 toy cost, 65% markup #2 $495 computer cost, 70% markup #3 $79 purse cost, 350% markup
When things are in demand, the markup is higher!
𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒=𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑒 ′ 𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒+𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑢𝑝
The store’s cost for a pair of jeans is $35. The store’s percent of markup is 85%. Find the amount of the markup. Markup = 35 (.85)= 29.75 The store makes $29.75 when they sell a pair of jeans.
How much for those jeans? 35+29.75=64.75 $64.75 selling price
Why do stores put things on sale?
Discount-amount of price decrease Percent of discount -percent of decrease
Find the discount #1 30% of $28.00 #2 75% of $50 #3 45% of $30
𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒=𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒−𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡
Find the discount and the sale price! #1 shirt $72 35% off #2 makeup mirror $85 20% off #3 sports jersey $120 30% off
Shortcut to the sale price! If an item is 30% off regular price, that means you are paying 70% of the regular price
