7. What I Need to Know
This module was intended to help students understand how to
be productive individuals. In a business environment, settling on a
suitable sales price for individual or company’s services or goods is a
very important task. The price must be desirable and suitable to
prospective customers. Mark ups and mark downs should be enough
to cover expenses and provides the business with a reasonable/
rightful profit.
This module is composed of lesson, namely:

4. PHP 3,500.00 14.29% PHP 500.15
5. PHP 399.75 25% PHP 299.81
What’s In
In differentiating mark-on, mark-down and mark-up in a given price of
the product requires knowledge in Percentages. In the previous lessons, we
have learned that percentage is the result obtained by taking a certain
number. A Percentage problem always involves 3 terms-percentage, rate and
base, denoted by P, R, B, respectively. The basic formula on solving problem
involving percentage are 𝑃 = 𝐵𝑥 𝑅, 𝑅 =
𝑃
𝐵
, 𝐵 =
𝑃
𝑅
.
Direction: Solve for the percentage, rate and base.
1. What is the 45% of 200?
2. In a class of 20, 30% are girls. How many are boys?
3. What part of 1000 is 230?
4. In stock of 200 reams of bond paper, 35 are defective. How many percent
of the stock is defective?
5. In a class, 8 are girls. If this is 40% of the class, how many students are
there?
What’s New
9. The Price is Right.
Direction: Student will guess the price of the items. Write your answer inside
the tag price.
Questions:
1. How did you find the activity?
2. What is the significance of understanding the rules in performing the
operations of decimals and percentages?
3. How will you apply this to real-life situations?
What is It
In a business environment, settling on a proper selling price for
individual or company’s services or goods is a very important principle. The
price must be desirable and appropriate to customer. Mark-ups and mark
downs should be enough to cover expenses and provides the business with
reasonable profit. Wrong pricing may lead to small profit or heavy loss.
Business is the activity of making, buying or selling goods or providing
services in exchange for money. Almost everyone deals with selling in order to
earn by commission, buy products on sale in order to get discounts. Business
owner needed to price the products to cover the different cost of product.
Pricing the products too high might lead to lose customers and pricing too low
may only “break-even” or may lost profit for the business. Pricing, selling,
discounts and commissions are very important in business.
Selling price or the retail price (tag price) is the amount which the
retailer sells the goods to the customers.
10. Formula:
Selling Price= Cost of Goods + Mark-on
𝑆 = 𝐶𝑔 + 𝑀𝑔
Where:
𝑆 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝐶𝑔 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠
𝑀𝑔 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛
Cost of goods is the amount the retailer spends in buying the goods,
which includes the cost of the goods and buying expenses.
Mark-on or margin (initial markup) is the difference between the selling
price and the cost of the product or service. It also includes the operating
expenses and the preferred profit. Mark-on is also known margin (gross profit)
which is the excess of selling price of the product or service over cost from the
perspective of the seller.
Where:
𝑆 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝐶𝑔 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠
𝑆𝑟 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑔𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑔 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑠 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Formula:
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 − 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠
𝑀𝑔 = 𝑆 − 𝐶𝑔
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠 𝑥 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
𝑀𝑔 = 𝐶𝑔𝑥 𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐
11. Mark-on Formulas:
𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠 + 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛
𝑆 = 𝐶𝑔 + 𝑀𝑔
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 − 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠
𝑀𝑔 = 𝑆 − 𝐶𝑔
Based on Cost:
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 =
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛

𝑀𝑔 = 𝐶𝑔𝑥 𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐
Based on Selling Price:
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 =

𝑀𝑔 = 𝑆 𝑥 𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑠
Example 1:
Mrs. Eligio bought a handbag for PHP 1,200.00. The bag was all the
way from Hong Kong that is why she decided to sold it for PHP 1,800.00 to
cover up the handling fee or transportation fee and the number of demands
for the bag. Find the mark-on as a percent of the cost and as a percent of the
selling price.
12. Solution:
Where:
𝑆𝑟 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑔𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑠 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Step 1: Find first the mark-on.
Let the PHP 1,800.00 the selling price and PHP 1,200.00 the cost of
goods.
𝑀𝑔 = 𝑆 − 𝐶𝑔
= 1,800.00 − 1,200.00
𝑀𝑔 = 600.00
Therefore, the mark-on or gross margin is PHP 600.00.
Step 2: Find the mark-on rate based on cost.
Let PHP 600.00 the mark-on and PHP 1,200.00 the cost of goods.
Divide PHP 600.00 over PHP 1,200.00 then multiply to 100 to get the
rate.
a. 𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐 =
𝑀𝑔
𝐶𝑔
𝑥 100
=
600.00
1200.00
𝑥 100
= 0.5 𝑥 100
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐 = 50%
Therefore, the mark-on rate based on cost is 50%
Step 3: Find the mark-on rate based on selling price.
Let PHP 600.00 the mark-on and PHP 1,800.00 the selling price.
Divide PHP 600.00 over PHP 1,800.00 then multiply to 100 to get the
rate.

𝑥 100
= 0.3333 𝑥 100
13. 𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑠 = 33.33%
Therefore, the mark-on rate based on selling price is 33.33%
Example 2.
Convert a Mark-on rate of 20% based on cost to a mark-on rate based
on selling price.
Where:
𝑆𝑟 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑔𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑠 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Solution:
Step 1: Let cost rate always equal to 100% and 20% the mark-on rate. Let us
now substitute the given numbers.
𝑆𝑟 = 𝐶𝑟 + 𝑀𝑔𝑟
= 100% + 20%
𝑆𝑟 = 120%
Therefore, the selling rate is 120%
Step 2: Find the Mark-on rate based on selling price.
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑠 =
𝑀𝑔𝑟
𝑆𝑟
𝑥 100
=
20%
120
𝑥 100%
= 0.1667𝑥100
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑠 = 16.67%
Therefore, the mark-on rate based on selling price is 16.67 %
Example 3.
14. Find the selling price of a box of 50 pieces of face mask that
cost PHP 120.00 and is marked on by 30% of the selling price.
Where:
𝑆𝑟 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝐶𝑔𝑟 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑔𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑠 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Solution:
Step 1: Let selling rate always equal to 100% and 30% the mark-on rate. Let
us now substitute the given numbers.
𝐶𝑔𝑟 = 𝑆𝑟 + 𝑀𝑔𝑟
= 100% − 30%
𝐶𝑔𝑟 = 70%
Therefore, the rate of cost of goods of box of face mask is 70%.
Step 2: Find the Mark-on rate based on cost.
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐 =
𝑀𝑔𝑟
𝐶𝑔𝑟
𝑥 100
=
30%
70%
𝑥 100
= 0.4286 𝑥 100
𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐 = 42.86%
Therefore, the mark-on rate based on cost is 42. 86%
Step 3: Find the Mark-on price.
𝑀𝑔 = 𝐶𝑔 𝑥 𝑀𝑔𝑟𝑐
= 120 𝑥 42.86%
𝑀𝑔 = 51.43
Therefore, the mark-on price is PHP 51.43
Step 4: Find the selling price.
15. 𝑆 = 𝐶𝑔 𝑥 𝑀𝑔
= 120.00 + 51.43
𝑆 = 171.42
Therefore, the selling price is PHP 171. 42.
Markdown refers to the reduction in the original selling price. The aims
of markdown are to attract more sales, for inventories, meet the prices of
competitors, to clear the old stocks or those that are not selling well. A retail
discount maybe a single rate of discount or a chain/series of discounts, like
a trade discount offered by retailer to consumers.
Where:
𝑀𝑑𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛
𝑀𝑜 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝑆 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Formulas:
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 =

𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑜 𝑥 𝑀𝑑𝑟
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 − 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑜 − 𝑆
Marked price also known as original price is the price which a retailer
offers to sell a product or service.
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 =
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛
𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒
16. 𝑀𝑜 =
𝑀𝑑
𝑀𝑑𝑟
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 + 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛
𝑀𝑜 = 𝑆 + 𝑀𝑑
Net price or selling price is the price at which something sells or how
much the customer pays after deducting a possible discount.
𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 − 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛
𝑆 = 𝑀𝑜 − 𝑀𝑑
Example 1.
At year-end sale of Bodega Store, an electric fan set marked PHP
2,000.00 was offered for PHP 800.00. What was the retail discount offered?
What was the rate of the discount?
Where:
𝑀𝑑𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛
𝑀𝑜 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝑆 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Solution:
Step 1: Let us substitute the given number. Find the markdown price.
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑜 − 𝑆
= 2,000.00 − 800.00
𝑀𝑑 = 1,200.00
Therefore, the markdown price of electric fan is PHP 1,200.00
Step 2: Find the markdown rate.
𝑀𝑑𝑟 =
𝑀𝑑
𝑀𝑜
𝑥 100
17. =
1,200.00
2,000.00
𝑥 100
= 0.6 𝑥 100
𝑀𝑑𝑟 = 60%
Therefore, the markdown rate is 60%
Example 2.
A surplus store offered for sale at PHP 100.00 the slack pants for ladies
that was originally priced at PHP 499.99. Find the markdown and the percent
of the markdown.
Where:
𝑀𝑑𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛
𝑀𝑜 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝑆 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Solution:
Step 1: Let us substitute the given number. Find the markdown price.
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑜 − 𝑆
= 499.99 − 100.00
𝑀𝑑 = 399.99
Therefore, the markdown price of lady’s slack is PHP. 399.99
Step 2: Find the markdown rate.
𝑀𝑑𝑟 =
𝑀𝑑
𝑀𝑜
𝑥 100
=
399.99
499.99
𝑥 100
= 0.80 𝑥 100
𝑀𝑑𝑟 = 80%
Therefore, the markdown rate is 80%.
18. Example 3.
A retailer sells cologne at PHP 50.00 each less 10% and if the customer
will buy the product today an additional 5% will be given. How much does a
customer pay the cologne today and how much amount saved?
Where:
𝑀𝑑𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛
𝑀𝑜 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝑆 = 𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝑆𝑛 = 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝑆𝑜 = 𝑂𝑙𝑑 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝐷𝑡 = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡
𝐷1 = 𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡
𝐷2 = 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡
Solution:
Step 1: Let us substitute the given number. Find the markdown price.
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑜 𝑥 𝑀𝑑𝑟
= 50.00 𝑥 0.10
𝑀𝑑 = 5.00
Therefore, the markdown price of cologne is PHP 5.00
Step 2: Find the selling price.
𝑆 = 𝑀𝑜 − 𝑀𝑑
= 50.00 − 5.00
𝑆 = 45.00
Therefore, the initial selling price of cologne is PHP 45.00.
Step 3: Find the markdown discount rate.
𝑀𝑑 = 𝑀𝑜 𝑥 𝑀𝑑𝑟
= 45.00 𝑥 0.05 (𝑎𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡)
19. 𝑀𝑑 = 2.25
Therefore, the additional discount price of cologne is PHP 2.25
Step 4: Find the new selling price after the first markdown.
𝑆𝑛 = 𝑆𝑜 − 𝑀𝑑
= 45.00 − 2.25
𝑆𝑛 = 42.75
Therefore, the new selling price after the two discounts of cologne
is PHP 42. 75
Step 5: Find the total discount.
𝐷𝑡 = 𝐷1 + 𝐷2
= 5.00 + 2.25
𝐷𝑡 = 7.25
Therefore, the total discount of cologne is PHP 7. 25
Markup refers to amount added to original selling price to arrive at a
new selling price. For entrepreneurs in the process of starting a business,
establishing markup is one of the most important parts of pricing strategy.
Markups must be sizable enough to cover all anticipated business expenses
and reductions (markdown, stock shortages, employee and customer
discounts) and still provide the business with a good profit.

Where:
21. 𝑀𝑢 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑢𝑝
𝑀𝑢𝑟 = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑢𝑝 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝑆𝑜 = 𝑂𝑙𝑑 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
𝑆𝑛 = 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Solution:
Step 1: Let us substitute the given number. Find the mark-up price.
𝑀𝑢 = 𝑆𝑜 𝑥 𝑀𝑢𝑟
= 45.00 𝑥 10%
𝑀𝑢 = 4.50
Therefore, the mark-up price of notebook is PHP 4.50.
Step 2: Find the increased selling price.
𝑆𝑛 = 𝑆𝑜 + 𝑀𝑢
= 45.00 + 4.50
𝑆𝑛 = 49.50
Therefore, the new selling price of notebook is PHP 49.50
