Dis 1 gidi gan o........

chai! See as i missed first page. Daris God o!

I don't answer simple questions like this. Please can you ask harder questions like "how much do you want me to sign for you on my chequebook?"

I came here expecting something challenging, leaving Disappointed.

Can't you translate it to a literary form?, it would be more understandable. Thanks

1) 12.5% 2) 0% this is becos original nd initial mean the same thing

1) 12.5%. 2) 28.5%

The easiest and quickest way to solve the question is to pick a number

Assume Kelly had #100.
She leaves home with 20% of that (#20) and leaves #80 at home.

The manufacturers list price is 25% higher than her #20. This is 125% or 1.25 x 20 which is #25 (Manufacturer List price)

The inflation adjusted price is 50% of what she left at home. This is 50% or 0.5 x 80 which is #40 (Inflation adjusted price)

The inflation adjusted price represents a 14 2/7% mark up on the original price. 14 2/7 is 100/7%. Since it's a markup, the inflation price is (100 + {100/7})% of the original price. This is 800/7%. Changing that to fraction is 8/7. Hence, 8/7 x original price = Inflation adjusted price = #40.
Original price = 40 x 7/8 = #35

We have all the prices now.

1. Difference between original price and initial/manufacturer price = 35 - 25 = 10
10/100 = 0.1
The answer to the first question is 10% if considering her total #100 or 12.5% if considering only the money she left at home.

2. This question makes no sense because the item has not actually been sold so there can't be any profit.
If you assume the profit from selling at the markup price of #40 and also assuming that the cost price is the manufacturer list price of #25, then the profit is #15. Hence the markup price percentage of the profit is 40/15 = 266.7%

Op please rephrase your question cos it's really confusing...initial and original means the same thing oooo..or u referring to the original as the prize given during inflation and initial as prize given before inflation..

Stop embarrassing yourself everywhere

make i finish midnight call

WTF?!?

Who the fvck put this on the frontpage?? The question has given my brain muscle pull. I HATE maths!!

(1) 12.5% of the total amount . (2) 37.5%

Okay

The answer is..

The answer is... Pineapple.

Just thinking out loud what the answer might be

.

Just a try. 1)11.43% .... 2)40%..

The difference btw the original price and the initial price is 12.5% of her income. I don't grab the second question

1) 10% not 12.5%. 12.5% is the percentage of the money she had at home.
2) 70% is my best guess. For the profit to be calculated there should be a mention of the cost price. And that wasn't mentioned. However since 'decent profit' was used in the question it's safe to estimate the cost price to the initial price of the radio (assuming the initial price is at zero profit).
Original price= profit + initial price
35= profit + 25
Profit= 10.
So 10/14.27 * 100 = 70%

Who the fvck put this on the frontpage?? The question has given my brain muscle pull. I HATE maths!!

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.

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?

Tnx for giving me a headache

.

Let's assume she left home with t(20% of total money)
She left at home 4t (80% of total money )
and In total had 5t

Initial price of radio= (0.25t + t)= 1.25t= 5/4t
Final price = 50%(4t) = 2t
Original (should have been) price = y =7/4t


2t= y+(100/7%)y
2t= y+1/7y= 8/7y

Hence y = 2t(7/8 )= 7/4t

Now we have a uniform variable

1) difference btw original and initial price as a percentage of total money

Ie (7/4 -5/4 )t = 1/2t or 0.5t

% of total money = (0.5/5)100= 10%



2) what percent of the profit is the mark up price?

Total profit made = final price -initial price
ie. 2t - 5/4t = 3/4t

Mark up price = (100/7)% of y = (1/7)7/4t = 1/4t

(Recall y = 7/4t from above)

Percentage profit in mark up price =
(1/4 divided by 3/4)100
(0.25/0.75)100

= 33.33%**

PS-
Op..the second question is ambiguous- do you mean profit made from original price or final price?
I assumed profit from final price though.
