Measurements
Many cooks or chefs do measure,
and when they don't, it is because
they have been cooking a long
time.

They understand the amounts of

ingredients they are adding
because they started out
measuring.

This is the primary reason you

should measure whether its dry
or liquid ingredients, because you
will learn about cooking better.

Liquid Measurement Conversion

• This liquid measurement and equivalents will surely help you
measure the liquid occupied by a container. It is somehow
challenging to measure liquids because of its surface tension.

WORD BANK
• Product – is the item offered for sale
• Percentage – a rate, number, or amount in each hundred
• Selling price – refers to the final price for which something sells
• Cost price – the amount of money that is spent to produce goods
or services before any profit is added
• Profit – a financial gain, especially the difference between the
amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or
producing something
COMPUTING FOR THE COST OF PRODUCTION

• Markup refers to the difference between the selling price of a

good or service and its cost. It is expressed as a percentage above
the cost. In other words, it is the added price over the total cost of
the good or service that provides the seller with a profit.

Steps in getting the percentage mark-up
formula
1st STEP 2ND STEP
• Get the value of mark up using the • There are 2 ways to solve for the
formula: Mark Up = Selling Price – markup percentage. Decide which
Cost. will you use among the two. Note
that it is important to stick to one
Example: Selling Price of banana cue is formula in order to avoid wrong
15.00 data.
Cost - 10. 00
Mark Up = 5. 00

formula
5TH STEP

• Make sure you consistently use either cost of the product or

selling price to find the percent markup on an item. Even though
the cost, selling price, and peso markup will always be the same,
the percentage markup will be drastically different depending on
if you calculate it using selling price or cost.
• Using selling price will give you a lower percentage markup
(assuming you are making a profit), while using cost will give you
a higher percentage markup.
 SAMPLE PROBLEM
John is the owner of a company that specializes in the manufacturing
of office computers and printers. He recently received a large order
from a company for 30 computers and 5 printers. In addition, the
company tasked John with installing software into each of the
computers.

The cost per computer is $500 and the cost per printer is $100. The
cost of installing the software to run on all the computers is $2,000.
If John wants to earn a 20% profit for the order, what would be the
price he needs to charge?
 SAMPLE PROBLEM

Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the order (computers + printers +

installation of software). $500 x 30 + $100 x 5 + $2,000 = $17,500
(total cost).
 
Step 2: Determine the selling price by using the desired percentage
of 20%. 20% = (Selling Price – $17,500) / $17,500  therefore Selling
price must be: $21,000 (selling price).
 
Therefore, for John to achieve the desired markup percentage of
20%, John would need to charge the company $21,000.
 SAMPLE PROBLEM

Games Galore Super Store buys the latest video game at a wholesale
price of $30.00. The markup rate at Game’s Galore Super Store is
40%. You use your allowance to purchase the game at the store. How
much will you pay, not including tax?
 SAMPLE PROBLEM
a. Write an equation to find the price of the game at Games Galore
Super Store. Explain your equation.

b. Solve the equation from part (a).

c. What was the total markup of the video game? Explain.

d. You and a friend are discussing markup rate.

e. He says that an easier way to find the total markup is by

multiplying the wholesale price of $30 by 40%. Do you agree
with him? Why or why not?
 SAMPLE PROBLEM

A mountain bike is discounted by 30% and then discounted an

additional 10% for shoppers who arrive before 5:00 a.m.
 SAMPLE PROBLEM
A. Find the sales price of the bicycle.

b. In all, by how much has the bicycle been discounted in dollars?

Explain.

c. After both discounts were taken, what was the total percent
discount?

d. Instead of purchasing the bike for $300, how much would you save
