If you have to pay 10% to put something in layaway, and the price is $140.00, then how much do you have to pay
151954
teekshi is wrong.  When you put something in layaway, you don't add the layaway payment to the total payment.  In this case, you put down the 10%, which has been correctly calculated to be $14.  You still owe the difference 140-14=126.  So, you can't take the item with you until you pay the difference ($126)

Use a header row to name column A as Wholesale Price; column B as Markup; column C as Retail Price; Column D as Discount and Column E as Sale Price.\nFormat the cells in columns A, C, and E as Currency. Format the cells in columns B and D as percentage.\nThe formula in column C is =(A*B)+A\nThe formula in column E is =C-(C*D)\nInsert your values into A, B and D\n\nNote to OP\nIt does work, it's just counter-intuitive.  Using your numbers - the 10% markup gives you a retail price of $110. 10% of 110 is 11, so the sale price is below the wholesale. You can never have a discount with the same percent as the markup and not lose money because you are taking a percentage of a greater number.\nThat's why furniture stores have a 100% markup and give a 50% discount to break even.\n\nHowever if you want the formula for what you did:\nThe formula in column C is =A/(1.00-B)\nThe formula in column E is =C*(1.00-D)\nBut the percentages in columns B and D must be less than 99%

Basically: There is an initial $30 charge.  It should have been $25, so $5 must be returned and accounted for.  $3 is given to the 3 friends, $2 is kept by the manager - there you have the $5.  \n\nThe trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most.  Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay $9, not $10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid $27 for the night.  But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only $25 and when you add the $3 returned with the $2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with $30.

It sounds like you are trying to find the marginal percentage to get you back to $10.  That can be calculated by taking the new cost $11 - old cost $10 (equals $1) then dividing that $1 by the new cost of $11 to get the marginal percentage of 9.090909%.  If you take the 9.090909% from $11, it will leave you with the original $10.

If it is $10 Tuesday, and that is after falling - 3/8 from the day before, then obviously, it was 10 3/8 the day before.  An "eighth" is an eighth of a dollar (12.5 cents), so the price was 10 and 37 1/2 cents the day before.\n\nIf the high was 14 1/4, that is $14.25.  If the low was 8 1/2, it was as low as $8.50.  I am not going to do that substraction for you, but I hope it isn't hard to subtract 8.50 from 14.25.\n\nGood luck!!

Just move the decimal one spot to the left\nFor example:\n\nJacket costs $200.00, for ten percent discount move the decimal and you get $20.000.\nOriginal price (200) minus the ten percent discount (20) is $180.  Yay math!

Three men rent a room for $30.00. ($10.00 each)  When they got to the room there was no heat.  They called the man at the front desk who sent up a $5.00 refund.  They couldn't evenly split the five so they each took a dollar and gave the bellhop a $2.00 tip. Now the three men ended up paying $9.00 each because they all took a dollar back from the five. (9 x 3 = 27) Plus the $2.00 tip to the bellhop. (27 + 2 = 29)  What happened to the last dollar?\nI LIKE THIS ONE TOO !!

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

How much intrest are you willing to pay?

this is dumb... where did the $9 come from?  Something cost $25 so there was $5 change.  Dad took $2 and so that leaves $3.  Which is $1 for each kid.

10% is 1/10\n\n1/10 of $2.00 is $0.20

Your item cost x dollars. \n\nTo show the cost plus the tax, you'd say:\nx + .12x = $5000\n\n(it costs "x" amount, and you have to add 12% to it, or .12)\n\nSimplify that to:\n\n1.12x = $5000\n\nSolve for x, so now you get:\n\nx = 5000/1.12\n\nx = $4464.29

If the starting price is $59.99 and the markup brings it to $66.67, then you increased the price by $6.68.\n\n6.68 is approximately 11.14% of 59.99, so that is the markup.\n\n(I found the percentage by doing 6.68/59.99 = .111351892...)
