1. Given: C= Php. 37 200 MR = Php. 89

SP= C + M
SP= 161 + 89
SP= Php. 250 selling price of the mathematics book.
2. Given: C= Php. 37 200 MRc= 19% = 0.19
SP= C + (C X MRc)
SP= 37 200 + (37 200 X 0.19)
SP= 37 200 + 7 068
SP= Php. 44 268 selling price of the digital camcorder
3. Given: SP= Php. 175 000 MRsp= 37% = 0.37
Msp= MRsp X SP
Msp= (0.37) (175 000)
Msp= Php. 64 750 the markup value
4. Given: SP= Php. 56.75 C= Php. 49.50
SP= C+M
M= SP-C
M= 56.25 - 49.50
M= Php. 7.25 the margin
5. Given: SP= Php. 4 792 M= Php. 1 248
SP= C + M
C= SP - M
C= 4 792 – 1 248
C= Php. 3 544 the cost
6. Given: SP= Php. 8 021.50 MR= 31.5%= 0.315
C= SP / 1+MR
C= 8 021.50 / 1+0.315
C= 8 021.50 / 1.315
C= Php. 6 100 the cost
7. Given: C= Php. 8 750 SP= Php. 12 250
MRc= Mc / C
MRc= SP – C / C
MRc= 12 250 – 8 750 / 8 750
MRc= 0.40 or 40% markup rate on cost
8. Given: C= Php. 608.40 SP= Php. 780
MRsp= Msp / SP
MRsp= SP – C / SP
MRsp= 780 – 608.40 / 780
MRsp= 0.22 or 22% markup rate on selling price
MARK DOWN
- Price reduction from the original selling price of

merchandise.
Formulas
Markdown= Regular Price X Markdown Rate
Sale Price= Regular Price – Markdown
Markdown Rate= Markdown / Regular Price
Regular Price= Sale Price / 100% - Markdown Rate

Example 1:
1. What are the markdown and the sale price on an antique
jar that has a regular price of Php. 38 500 and is on sale for
26% off the regular price?
Given:
Regular Price= Php. 35 800
Markdown Rate= 26%= 0.26
Markdown= Regular Price X Markdown Rate
Markdown= 35 800(0.26)
Markdown= Php. 9 308
Sale Price= Regular Price – Markdown
Sale Price= 35 800 – 9 308
Sale Price= Php. 26 492
Thus, the markdown is Php. 9 308 and the sale price is

Php. 26 492

Rate of Invoice Price= Rate of List Price- Trade Discount Rate
Rate of Invoice Price= 100% - 20%
Rate of Invoice Price= 80%
List Price= Invoice Price / Rate of Invoice Price
List Price= 12 000 / 0.80
List Price= Php. 15 000
Thus, the list price is Php. 15 000
