Markup = Sale price – Cost Markup percentage = (markup / price * 100) Thus, assume that the CD cost $1.00 to produce and was sold for $20.00. What is the mark up? Mark up = $20.00 - $1.00 Mark up = $19.00 Price Determination

Sale price = 1.99 (magic pen) Cost = 1.40 What is the markup in percentage? Solution: Markup = 1.99 – 1.40 = 0.50 Markup % = ($0.50/ 1.99) * 100 = 25.1% Markup as a %

Students did a surprise quiz today. If you were not in class, and you have a valid reason such as being sick or field trip, then you should talk to Mr. Park on Tuesday May 20 with a document, which can prove your valid reason of the absence. If you skipped class, then you would get zero on this quiz. Surprise Quiz
