 I. Let us know
Good day learners! Have you ever wondered why the price of
alcohol and surgical mask differ from one store to another,
especially during this time of COVID-19 pandemic? We need
to consider certain factors that affect the price of these
products like the surging demand, the high production cost,
and the growing competition that involves mark-on, mark-
down, and mark-up.
 In this section, you will learn how to
differentiate mark-on, mark-down, and mark-
up

and obtain mark-on, mark-down, and mark-up,

given the price of a product. Note that the

Selling price (S) is the original price plus the

mark-up or minus the mark-down.
 A. Obtaining the mark-on M ｡
To find the mark-on, given the selling price and percent discount, follow the example
worded problem below

An action sports camera is being sold at a 43% discount. The selling price is
P2,049 What was the mark-on?

Step 1

➜Represent the unknown as x.

In the given problem the unknown is the original price or mark-on.Let x be the
original price.
Step 2
➜Form the equation given the discount in decimal form.

Original Price-(discount in decimal “x) = Selling Price

Original Price-(discount in decimal x)= Selling Price

x – (0.43x) = 2.049

Step 3

➜Subtract the left expression.

 X – 0.43x = 2049
0.57x = 2.049

Step 4

➜Divide both sides of the equation in Step 3 by the numerical coefficient of x. Then
find x.

(0.57x)/0.57 = 2049/0.57
x =P3,594.74
Step 5

Final answer in sentence form.

The original price (mark-on) of an action sports camera is P3,594.74.

 B.Obtaining the Mark-up (Mu)
•To obtain the mark-up, use the formula Mu = S – Mo

where: S selling price

Mo mark-on
•Let us consider the worded problem below.

In January 2020, Zyth bought 5 boxes of a 3 ply surgical mask worth P1,500. After 3
months, he decided to sell the 5 boxes of masks because of the higher demand due
to the existence of Covid19 with its present market value of 15,000How much is the
mark-up Mu?
Solution and Answer:

Computing mark-up Mu= S - Mo ➜formula

= 5000 - 1 ,500 ➜substitute the values and subtract
= 3 ,500

Therefore, the mark-up is P3,500.

 C. Obtaining the mark-down
(Md)
. To obtain the mark-down use the formula Md =Mo – S .

Where: S, selling price

Mo, mark-on

Let us consider the worded problem below.

The price of an item in a resto-bar whose business is affected by the pandemic was
originally sold at P593, was reduced to P350. What is the mark- down Md?
Solution and Answer:

Computing mark-down Md= Mo- S ➜ formula

=593-350. ➜substitute the values and subtract

=243

Therefore, the mark-down is P243.00.
