Find the previous selling price of a shirt which now sells at ₱1, 300.00 which was given a markdown percentage of 25%.
A
₱1, 333.33
B
₱1, 533.33
C
₱1, 933.33
D
₱1, 733.33
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, if a product costs $100, the selling price with a 25% markup would be $125: Gross Profit Margin = Sales Price – Unit Cost = $125 – $100 = $25. Markup Percentage = Gross Profit Margin/Unit Cost = $25/$100 = 25%. Sales Price = Cost X Markup Percentage + Cost = $100 X 25% + $100 = $125.

Detailed explanation-2: -Determine the total cost of all units purchased. Divide the total cost by the number of units purchased to get the cost price. Use the selling price formula to calculate the final price: Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit Margin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Divide the difference between the prices by the actual selling price. Then, multiply this result by 100. The result represents the markdown percentage.
