Onlinebizexpert: Bros you see any isaac newton for nairaland? Why do Africans always refer to European mathematicians, scientists or engineers when we have had plenty of great scientists like Imhotep. Did you know Europeans came to Africa to learn? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLk50p7YdK0 |

kobonaire: Let's say Kelly initially had x Naira. So if she too 20% then U r a very good mathematician its nice 2 meet u. Buh let's look @ it dis way 'wen it comes in fraction form, solve it in fraction form 2 make it clear' Let 'k' b d total amount She took 20%k 2 d market Initial radio price on d manufacter's list is 20%k +(25% of 20%k) = 1/4k = 25%k Original price 50% of 80%k = 2/5k = 40%k Now d diff btw original and initial = 40%k - 25%k = 15%k And mark-up % = (originalprice - initial)/initial = (40%k - 25%k) /25%k = 15%k / 25%k = 3/5% Note: 14 whole 2/7 % is d same as 100/7 % 1 Like |

paranorman: 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.my teacher no remember teach me this one |

I guess even the second part iڪ also simple only if you make your question clearer. Either you or I must be missing out something in it @op 1 Like |

Let the money she has be denoted by: x She took out:20%of x =x/5 Left at home is x-(x/5) =4x/5 Initial price of radio is:25% more than 20% of x=6x/25 Original price is 50% of money left at home=2x/5 Difference between money left at home and initial price=(2x/5) - (6x/25) =4x/25 Profit made by the man selling radio =142/7%=100/7% of (2x/5) =1/7 *2x/5 =2x/35 |

Tinkybabe: Let's assume she left home with t(20% of total money)Q1- I agree it's 10% Q2- The question says what % of the profit is the markup price? There is a difference btw "markup" and "markup price". *markup--- is the 14 whole 2/7% increase of the original price. *markup price---- is the original price + markup. According to the info you already provided, Markup price= 2t. Profit =3/4t. Ans= 2/(3/4) in %. =2.667 *100 =266.7%approx. * By the way, you're very good, your method is simple and straightforward. 1 Like |

CarlOzeki: The easiest and quickest way to solve the question is to pick a number You're very correct bro, the first question is however considering the whole amount she had initially, so the ans is 10%. |
