Cost is the amount a merchant pays for the merchandise he will sell.

Retail Price Retail price is the regular amount a merchant asks his customer to pay for merchandise.

Markup is the amount the merchant adds to his cost to arrive at the retail price.

Markup Rate Markup rate is the amount of markup on an item as a percent of its cost.

markup = markup rate x cost

retail price = cost + markup

Example 3 A merchant buys shirts at $28 each and uses a 25% markup rate. Find the markup amount and retail price. markup = markup rate x cost = 0. 25(28) = $7 retail price = cost + markup = 28 + 7 = $35

Example 4 A merchant buys ties for $15 and sells them for $18. Find the markup and markup rate. cost + markup = retail price 15 + m = 18 15 + m – 15 = 18 – 15 m=3 The markup is $3.

Example 4 A merchant buys ties for $15 and sells them for $18. Find the markup and markup rate x cost = markup p x 15 = 3 The markup 15 p = 3 rate is 20%. 15 15 p = 0. 2 = 20%
