Ok...this should be easy, but for some reason I am making it complicated.  I have a base charge for an item - $5000.  I have to pay 10% commission on the item so I need to include that in the price.  When I multiple 5000 * 10% = 500 therefore the price is $5500.  However, when I calculate the 10% commission on 5500, the total is now $550!    How do I calculate the 10% commission (markup) into the price so that it is actually 10% of the base?  This should be very easy, but I am clearly not understanding something.  I found an example that multiplied the net charge by 11.1% (180 * .111 = 20 then 180+20 = 200 so that 200 * 10% = 20)  But I really don't understand why. Is it an inverse ratio?

Algebraically speaking, x=the amount you would charge.\n\nx - 10% of x = 5000\nx - .1x = 5000\n.9x = 5000\nx = 5000/.9\nx = $5555.56 (rounded to nearest cent)

I am not a real estate professional, but have worked in the industry. The 5% is actually a standard rate, but 4% may be negotiated. You have to remember the commission is split between the 2 brokers that make the deal, so they usually get only 2.5% each.\n\nCheers.

Basically this is a class on "what if" scenarios.  "What if the company raises the price of a widget by $1.25?  What will that do to our sales?  What is the projected increase or decrease in sales stated in terms of a percentage?"\n\nIt is more complicate than that but that is essentially it.

Let's break this down: We have 3 separate charges: a monthly customer charge (constant), a distribution charge and a supply charge\n\nMonthly customer charge: 6.45\n\nDistribution charge: \nIt's 0.2012 for the first 20 therms, then 0.117 for the next 30. You are taking a total of 40, which are broken down as follows:\n\nThe first 20*0.2012 + the next 20*0.1117, which gives you: 6.258 dollars for the distribution charge\n\nGas supply charge:\n0.3209 per therm. You're using 40 therms, so multiply the rate by 40: 40*0.3209= 12.836\n\nSo, summing it up:\n\nTotal=6.45+6.258+12.836=25.544 dollars (so about 25 dollars and 54 cents).

you need to know what the charges are; activation fee and both cents per minutes costs.\n\nfor all costs;\n\nplan 1-\ntotal charge = act fee dollars + number of calls x cost per call\n\nplan 2-\ntotal charge = number of calls x cost per call\n\nWhen are the total costs the same -\nact fee $ + number of calls x cost per call (on plan 1) = \nnumber of calls x cost per call (on plan 2)\n\nIf the cost per call is the same-\nact fee $ / cost per call + number of calls (plan 1) = number of calls (plan 2)

Multiply 15% times $8.39.\nTo make it easy, think of it as 10% plus 5%.\nYou can easily find 10% of $8.39. It's $.839, which is about 84 cents.\n\nAnd 5% is half as much as 10%, so that's another 42 cents.\n\nTotal tip = 84 + 42 = 126 cents, or $1.26.\nYou could call it $1.25, but generally you should round up, or even add something ... so anywhere from $1.25 to $1.50 would be OK. If you want to send a message about disappointing service, leave less than 15%. If you want to send a message about BAD service, leave less than 10% (even MUCH less). And if you want to send a message about exceptional service, leave more than 20%.\n\nThat's a lot of different percentages that you MIGHT have to calculate. But if you can do the very simple 10% calculation, you should be able to figure out any of the above-mentioned percentages.

So where's that starting point?  Either we start (yesterday) with Mary having $785.63 we subtract $57. and $125. for 603.63.  Then we add $57.25 for a total of 660.88 (B) \nOR\nwe start we $785.63 (today) anb subtract $57. and $125 for $603.63 (C).  The $57.25 doesn't matter cause Mary did that yesterday....

Mutiply $28 by 0.30, then subrtact 28 again, and that should tell you how much it is. ($19.60. It will come up as -19.60 though, just ignore the negative)

if the retail is 175.00 and thats after a 40 % markup,,,,they marked it up $70,,  the retailer purchased it for  105.00  ,, if the whole saler sold it for 105 and marked it up 10 percent (10.50) that means the wholesaler bought if for  94.50 , so the manufacturer sold it for a 44.50 profit  ,,,,, i think lol

It's a percentage.  So no matter what the price is, you add 8.25 %\n\nThe easiest way to find the new TOTAL  (base price AND tax together)  is to take the price and multiply it by 1.0825\n\nTherefore, a one dollar item is $1.08, a four dollar item is $4.33 a ten dollar item is $10.83, and a hundred dollar item is $108.25.

Basically, if your team made total $1,000 then you get 1% out of the $1,000 which is $10. Are you looking for a good paying commission job? I have one that that pay $50.40 - $75.60 each easy cell phone + new contract or renewal contract plus $13.50 - $25.25. You can sign up for free through this company.

If the tax rate is 8.25%:\n\nPrice*1.0825=total\n\nYou add 1 to the tax amount (.0825) so the original value will be added in as well.\n\nIf you just multiply by .0825 then your answer will just be the tax and not the cost.

Percent of increse-Sally was walking down to the toy store.  A man that worked at the toy store was her frind's dad.  A week befor last week sally saw a doll that shee wanted to buy.  It was 10.00 dollars.  Sally brought 20.00 with her to buy the  doll.  Ohh no! when Sally looked at the doll this week it was 15.00 dollars! Sallys mom had told her that she could but the doll if it was cheaper or if it only got a 9%increase. Sally remeberd those horrid words. She pulled out a sheet of paper ond wrote:.............the origanal price was $10 and now it is $15.\nS: The percent of increase of the doll I want to buy..................\nO:Doll  $10 Now it is $15  \nL:I will multiply and subtract and divide. \nV: $15-$10=5 5/15 * x/100  x*15 = 5*100   x*15=500 divide both sides by 15. x= 33 1/3   \n\n\n\nI can buy the doll yeah\n\n \nE

The answer is D because 10,150.00$+738.00$= 10,888$\n\nThen to get six percent of that multiply by 1.06 becuase the 1 represents keeping 100% of the original total and .06 means adding an additional 6%. Then add the 50.00$ registration fee and you get 11,591.28$ as your answer

OMG ... this is simple math here people:\n\n$500 * 0.83 = $415.00 to the Charity\n$500 * 0.17 = $ 85.00 to the Operating Expenses\n\nNow we'll address the Operating Expense Breakdown --\n\nThe 17% is 5% Admin, 5% Operating and 7% equipment 5+5+7=17\n\n$500 * 0.05 = $25.00 Administrative\n$500 * 0.05 = $25.00 Operating\n$500 * 0.07 = $35.00 Equip and Svcs\n\nJoe --\n$100 * 0.83 Charity = $83.00\n$100 * 0.05 Admini = $5.00\n$100 * 0.05 Opns = $5.00\n$100 * 0.07 Equp = $7.00\nJoy --\n$600 * 0.83 Charity = $498.00\n$600 * 0.05 Admini = $30.00\n$600 * 0.05 Opns = $30.00\n$600 * 0.07 Equp = $42.00\nREPORT FOOTER --\nTotal Charity Donations ($83.00 + 498.00) = $581.00\n\nHope this helps !

If there was no increase, then there is a 0% increase. I do not know what motts is trying to say ...\nsince 24,900% times 6 is 1494 and if the additional 6 cents is included, trust me, you are going to pay it...\n\nyour increase went from 6 cents to 1500 cents...not 6 cents to 1494 cents...\n\nNote: 3 cents is 50% of 6 cents and \n      6 cents is 100% of 6 cents and\n      9 cents is 150% of 6 cents and\n      12 cents is 200% of 6 cents and ... So, if there was a 100% increase in your munincipal telephone tax, your charges would have gone to 12 cents per month. \n\nNow,\n\nSince $15 = 1500 cents, your tax was raised from 6 cents per month to 1500 cents per month. The question is :\n\n1500 is what percent of 6...\n\n1500 = x% (6)\n\n1500 = x/100 (6)\n\n1500 = 6 x / 100\n\nso, (cross multiplication) (1500/1) = (6x/100)\n\n6x = 150000\n\nx = 25000. \n\nSo (YES!), \n\nyour munincipal telephone tax was raised 25,000%.\n\nThere should be some kind of law or rule that allows the increase only a certain amount. Nothing close to 25000 percent. If it was raised this much, you have a bunch of crooks working on your local munincipal board, or whatever...\n\nWith this much more money going in, guess where it is going...\n\nI don't need the ten points, but I hope you are complaining to the right authority...this is rediculous...\n\nAlso, although your tax increased 25000%, you had an increase of 250 times what you were paying. In other words, for every dollar you were paying before, you are now paying $250 or for every cent ($.01) you were paying before, you are now paying 250 cents which is also $2.50.\n\nif the increase is 25000% or 24900%, forget about it, both are a huge increases...\n\nWhen was the increase...from 1940 until last month or from last month to this month...

it means that the amount will be added to the base price.  You will pay "112" no matter when you pay it off.  The exception to the is a "same as cash" option that say a furniture store may offer.
