Explanation:

Markup is the name given to the difference between a cost price and a selling price:

  cost price + markup = selling price

Markdown is a name given to the difference between a list price or tag price and the actual selling price.

  list price - markdown = selling price

Markup and markdown are <em>actual currency amounts</em>. Often, sellers relate them to the cost price or the list price using percentages. That is, the percentage markup can be figured as ...

  percent markup = (markup)/(cost price) × 100%

Similarly, the markdown may be expressed as a percentage of the selling price:

  percent markdown = (markdown)/(selling price) × 100%

__

<em>Additional comments</em>

These representations as percentages are often used because a seller is usually interested in having a specific percentage return on money invested. By making the markup a specific percentage of the cost price, that return can be ensured.

Markdown percentages are often important to a buyer. They look for sales that offer a large percentage discount (markdown), sometimes not paying so much attention to the list price.

Answer:

Markup is how much to increase prices and markdown is how much to decrease prices. If we are given a markdown percentage, we multiply the percentage with the original price to find how much of a decrease we are getting, then we subtract this difference from the original price to find the marked down price.

We know that a class interval must be greater than what the I formula solution is; however... What is the solution for class int
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Therefore the answer is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

class interval = range / number of classes

But here number of classes is not given , so we use the formula

class interval = range / ( 1+ 3.322 log N)

where , range =maximum - minimum = 220-100 = 120

N= number of observations = 50

class interval = 120 / ( 1+ 3.322 * log 50) = 18.06

Rounding up to a convinient number

Thus , class intervai = 20

Therefore the answer is 20.

vimesha drove 232 miles in 4 hours. at this rate, how far could she drive in 7 hours? what is her rate of speed in miles per hou
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:  distance = 406 miles

speed = 58 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

4 hours - 232 miles

1 hr - 232/4

7 hours - 232/ 4 x 7 = 406 miles

Therefore , her distance is 406 miles for 7 hours.

Speed = distance / time

speed = 406/7 = 58 miles/hr
