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.
