Out of the total money on her, Kelly took 20% off with her and left over the rest at home on her way to the market. On getting to the market, she saw a radio she liked but found out its price (initial) on its manufacturer's list was 25% higher than what she took to the market. So she thought she could work something out with the seller but was disappointed when told the list got old, prices were adjusted due to inflation and the radio could only be sold at a price which was 50% of her left-over at home; this price was a mark-up of 14 whole and 2/7 % on the original price the seller should have sold it and make a decent profit.

The difference between the original price and initial price is what percent of total money Kelly had?

What percent of the profit is the mark-up price?

Bros you see any isaac newton for nairaland?

re-phrase question 2 grammar pls

hopelink1: re-phrase question 2 grammar pls

there's nothing to raphrase there. The question is xaclty what you think it is.. Just assimilate it.

I'm good in mathematics, but who much will I be paid for stressing my brain

Let's say Kelly initially had x Naira. So if she too 20% then
Money taken to market : 0.2x
Money left at home : 0.8x

Radio initial listing price was 25% higher than what she took to the market which means
1.25 * 0.2x= 0.25x

Seller adjusted price was 50% of what she had left at home => 0.5*0.8x= 0.4x
And this price is a 14 2/7% markup of what it actually should have listed for => 1.1427 of what it should have listed for. (The question becomes ambiguous here IMHO).

Anyway if the original price is y then the mark up price is 1.1427y and since it is equal to 50% of what she left at home=>
1.1427y=0.4x

The difference between the original price and initial price is what percent of total money Kelly had?
Original price = 0.4x , initial price = 0.25x => difference - (0.4-0.25)x = 0.15x and as a percentage of what Kelly had = 0.15x/x = 0.15 (15%)

What percent of the profit is the mark-up price? Isn't this simply the mark up? I don't get the question, please clarify @paranorman

[size=13pt]UPDATE[/size]
So the OP has responded saying that the answer to the second question is "INSUFFICIENT DATA" .... abeg, that was rather disappointing, why ask us a question that does not have an answer (simply admit you messed up the question ) ..... see the post here

hamas and isreal dey fight

HMMMMMMMM

Abeg who get Maggi i wan fry akara

The wording is throwing me off, don't initial and original mean the same thing?

Also, I don't believe the question is correct: For example, say she has 100 naira, and only took 20%, that means she took 20naira to the market and left 80 naira at home.

Now the radio was 25% higher than her 20naira, wich means radio was 25/100 * 20naira + 20naira = 25naira.

If the radio could only be sold for 50% of her money left at home(80 naira), then radio now cost 40 naira.

However 40 naira doesn't represent a 14 2/7% increase from 25 naira, hence I believe the problem might be wrong.
