How to calculate mark up and mark down?
We are told that;
Current cost of Green rug = $54.50
Current cost of White rug = $31.85
Now the store wants to mark down the green rug by 12%. Thus;
New price of green rug = (100% - 12%) × 54.5
New price of green rug = $47.96
Now the store wants to mark up the white rug by 16%. Thus;
New price of white rug = (100% + 16%) × 31.85
New price of green rug = $36.95
Difference in New prices = $47.96 - $36.95
Difference in New prices = $11.01
