Answer 1

1.

$Markup=\%\space of \space cost \space price\\\frac{40}{100}\times1250=500\\selling \space price=500+1250\\=P1750$

2.

$cost=2000\\selling\space price =3750\\mark\space rate=\frac{sell\space price-cost\space price}{cost\space price}$

$\frac{3750-2000}{2000}\times100$

$=87.5\%$

3.

$markup=40\%\\selling\space price=3150\\\frac{40}{100}\times3150=1260$

$selling\space price=cost+markup\\=1260\times3150\\=P4,410$

4.

$markup=25\%\\cost\space price=2750\\\frac{25}{100}\times2750=6875\\sellin\space price=cost\space price +markup\\=2750+6875\\=P9,675$

5.

$cost\space price=2750\\sell\space price=3000\\marked\space down\space value=set\space price-cost\space price\\=3000-2650=350\\marked\space down\space rate=\frac{marked\space down\space value}{sell\space price}\\=\frac{350}{3000}\times100=11.67\%$

6.

$income\space10000\\net\space sales=100\\profit\space margin=\frac{income-sales}{income}\\=0.99$
