Markups and Markdowns

Question 1 • DAEP - Math 7 A (20 DAY TERM)

Which statements are true about markups and markdowns? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
To find a markup price, add the original amount to the markup amount.
B
To find a markdown price, subtract the markdown amount from the original amount.
C
Gratuities and markdowns both involve adding to the original amount.
D
Discounts and markdowns both involve subtracting from the original amount.
E
To find the final price after taxes, subtract the tax amount from the original price.

Explanation

A markup increases the original amount, so the markup price is the original amount plus the markup amount. A markdown decreases the original amount, so the markdown price is the original amount minus the markdown amount. Discounts also reduce the original price, while gratuities and taxes are added rather than subtracted.
