Mark Up Mark Down

A markup increases an item's price; a markdown lowers it. Find the new price by adding or subtracting the dollar amount. Show your work for short-answer problems.

Understanding Markups and Markdowns

A shop pays $14 for a water bottle and adds $6 to its price. Its selling price is $14 + $6 = $20. A markup is the amount added to the original cost. If the shop lowers a $32 backpack by $9, its sale price is $32 − $9 = $23. A markdown is the amount taken off the original price.

1.A shop pays $11 for a notebook and adds a $5 markup. What is the notebook's selling price?

  • $16

  • $11
2.A lamp priced at $72 is marked down by $18. What is its sale price?

3.Which situation describes a markdown?
  • A store takes 25% off a price
  • A shop adds $8 to an item's cost
  • A retailer increases an item's price by $8
  • A store raises prices for a weekend sale
