Typically, a store will discount an item by a percent of the original price. In this problem, an item that originally costs $15 is being discounted by 10%. So 10% off refers to the rate of discount.To solve this problem, we need a procedure.rocedure: 1  The rate is usually given as a percent. 2  To find the discount, multiply the rate by the original price. 3  To find the sale price, subtract the discount from original price.
this percentage is called the markup if the cost is known and the percentage markup is known the sale price is the original cost plus the amount of markup for example if the original cost is $ 4 00 and the markup is 25 % the sales price should be $ 4 00 $ 4 00 25 100 $ 5 00a faster way to calculate the sale price is to make the original cost equal to 100 %the markup is 25 % so the sales price is 125 % of the original costin the example $ 4 00 125 100 $ 5 00or example if the original cost is $ 4 00 and the markup is 25 % the sales price should be $ 4 00 $ 4 00 25 100 $ 5 00 a faster way to calculate the sale price is to make the original cost equal to 100 % the markup is 25 % so the sales price is 125 % of the original cost in the example $ 4 00 125 100 $ 5 00
