33 1/3 % sale takes 1/3 the cost off the shirt.  (33.33% is 1/3 of 100).\n\nThat means 10.60 is 2/3 the original cost of the shirt.  To find the original cost.  This means\n\noriginal cost x 2/3 = 10.60\n\ndivide both sides by 2/3, which is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal (reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2).\n\noriginal cost = 10.60 x 3/2\n\noriginal cost = 15.90

Impossible.  It is a percentage of whatever the product is.  For example the tax here is 5.5%.  If I buy something for 19.99, with tax it is 21.09.

Look here in the completed items. The items with a green price were sold. The items with a red price did not sell or did not have their reserve price met.\n\nGood luck!

How much more are you selling the item for than what you paid for it?\n\nSay you obtained a widget for $100.  If you sold it for $150, then the [simple] profit is 50%, since 50/100 = .5 = 50%.\n\nIn reality you would have to take into account things like opportunity costs, wages, store costs (if a store is involved), licensing, taxes, etc.  But above is how you get a simple profit rate or percentage.

I'd like to tell you a couple of tricks for getting ABOUT the right answer, which is often all you need, for instance when you're buying something and want to guard against a major cashier's error.\nMultiplying two numbers: Try to simplify the problem. Say it's 15 cans of something at 39 cents a can. Well 39 is pretty close to 40, so you get 15*40=$6.00. Or if you want it exactly, 15*40=$6.00 but subtract 15 cents because you added it when you simplified. $6.00 - $0.15 = $5.85. That's a lot easier than mentally multiplying 15 by 39.\nOften there seems to be no way to simplify the problem. Like 34 * $0.57. Well see what happens if you decrease one a little and increase the other by the same percentage. Say we take 34 down to 30, that's a little more than 10% less. Then what's a little more than 10% of 57? About 7. So we add 7 to 57, and we have 30 * $.64 = $19.20. The actual answer is $19.38. Again, not too bad. Or a 3-digit number: Try $3.79 * 18. OK, lets put $3.79 up to $4.00, about a 5% increase. Then take about 5% off 18 and it's 17. $4.00 * 17 = $68.00, compared to the exact answer of $68.22. \nHow about when you have a bunch of different items in the supermarket cart and you want the approximate total? Just keep track of the dollars and remember the cents as simple fractions of a dollar. So if you have these items: $1.39, $3.75, $2.19, $7.63, you say 1 & 1/3 plus 3 & 3/4 is 5 & a little; plus 2 & a little is 7 & 1/2; plus 7 & 1/2 is 15. The actual total is $14.96. Again, not too bad, although it won't always be this close. I hope you can use these. It gets easier with practice.

2 %\n\nLet x be the Wholsale Proce and y be the sale proce\n\nInitial 20 % mark-up  means x + 0.2x = 1.2x\n y is 15% less than 1.2x\n\ny = 1.2x - (0.15(1.2x))\ny = 1.2x - 0.18x\ny = 1.02x\n\nHence the Sale price is 2 % higher than the wholesale Price (may be the "documentation charges" - jst kid'ng)

Yes,\n\nThe equation relating p,s and c represents e very possible combination of T-shirts, caps and profit values for a funraiser. Suppose the class sets a profit goal of P=$600 . Finding cobinations of T-shirt and cap sales that meet this goal requires solving an equation with only two variables, s and c.\n\nA. Find five pairs of numbers for shirt and cap sales that will allow the students to make a $600 profit exactly.

what shirts are you after i'm sure i can find u proper shirts for cheaper than that. let me know which one you want i have a large collection of proper ones myself

what you did was find 80% of 40\n\nSince it is 80% OFF, you have to subtract that from 40\n\n40 - 32 = 8\n\nyour other option is to change the percentage.  Since it is 80% off - what you pay is 20%.  20% of 40 = 8

Move the decimal two places to the right.\n83.4%

First 306 is 85% of 100% of the first discoult were before price after first discount =\n\n(306/85) x 100 = 360 dollors\n\nAs this is 90% of the starting price\n\n(360/90) x 100 = 400 dollors

10% 0ff = 28.89\n15% Off = 27.285\n18% Off = 26.322

hmm..well this might be an easy fix if you have a calculator\n\nsimply multiply the total by 0.1.  the answer will be 10 percent of the total.\n\nhope this helps\n\nexample: 132.00  x 0.1 = 13.20    which is 10%

3 shirts x $18.99 each = $56.97\n$75 - $56.97 = $18.03 left over...\n\nIf we get more complicated, and include tax, it depends on where you live...  I'm going to use the example living in ny, since thats where i live...  I just looked it up its a 8.625% rate\n\nsoo..\n\nTake the $56.97 total x 8.625% = $4.9136625 sales tax\n$4.9136625 + the $56.97 = $61.8836625, which rounded off to nearest penny = $61.88 being the total price\n\nTake the original $75 - $61.88 = $13.12 left over...

It's been a long time since I took statistics.\n\nI believe the seasonal index is merely stats from the previous year.\n\nThey estimate that the sales will increase by 5% this year.\n\nI would boost qtrs 2, 3, & 4 by 5% to find the minimum amount the retailer would need to keep on hand to meet projected sales.\n\nqtr 2 = 85 x .05 + 85 = 89.25   (rounded to 90)\nqtr 3 = 83 x .05 + 83 = 87.15   (rounded to 88)\nqtr 4 = 135  x .05 + 135 = 141.75  (rounded to 142)\n\n* Round up since you cannot sell a fraction of a garment
