“Mark Brothers (Mark-on, Mark-down and Mark-up)”


Knowledge in fraction, decimal and ratio are important in the world of buying and selling. In starting
or doing a business, many things should be done and understood. Investments are so much important
in business and needs earn profit. The revenue after all expenses have been taken out is a good sign
that buying and selling is maximized. Buying and selling is an everyday life activity. It is everywhere
and it aims to earn a profit. For an ordinary person, it is a simple buying and selling but for
businessman, he needs to check whether transaction is profitable or not. In this section you will learn
the different concepts in doing business transactions and solve problems related to buying and selling.

Mark-on refers to what percentage must be added to the production cost of commodity in order to
attain the selling price and create profit. Sometimes stated as the difference between the selling price
and the cost of producing the product. Generally it is called margin or profit, since it is an amount
beyond what is needed. Knowing the production cost of goods makes it easier to know the margin.

Mark-down is a practice of lowering a regular price or original selling price of a certain product or
goods. The practi+ce aims of attracting more costumer and more sales, to be within the competitor's
price, to reduce large inventories,to clear old and slow moving stocks. Mark-down is also the
difference between the regular selling price and the new price to be used.

Mark-up is the amount by which the regular or original selling price is further increased. It means
that from the original selling price, a retailer may raise the regular selling price of his inventories due
to an increased of price in the market or if the supply is insufficient. As previously explained, the
regular or the original selling price already contains the percentage or margin based on the production
cost. But to keep up with the market price, additional margin is likely needed.

Mark-on, mark-up and mark-down can be computed by considering the following formula:
1. Mark-on
SP = CP + MO
Selling price = Cost of production + Mark-on
2. Mark-on rate or percent

What I need to know

At the end of this material, you should be able to:


1. Differentiate Markup from margins.
2. Describe how gross margins used in sales.
3. Compute single trade discounts and discount series.

What’s In?

In a sports store, trainers cap originally priced at ₱ 2,850.00 are sold at ₱ 2,500.00.
Compute the markdown and the rate of markdown. Can you compute the markup
price of the product?

What’s New?

A. Markup – to cover the cost of doing business and to earn profit, the retailers needs to sell
their items at a higher price. This is done by adding to the cost of their merchandise. Thus, a
markup is the difference between the selling price and the cost of the merchandise. We can
summarize this relationship in the following equation:
B. Markup based on Cost- the markup is usually expressed as the percentage of
the cost of the product. This percentage is called the markup rate based on the cost.
In this case the selling price is calculated by multiplying the markup rate to the cost,
and the adding the result to the cost of the merchandise. That is:
C. Margin- markup based on the selling price is often called the margin. The margin (or
gross margin) is the selling price minus the cost of goods sold. It is obtained by multiplying
the selling price by the percentage margin.
D. Markup based on Selling Price - is known as the percentage margin.
E. Trade Discounts – is a deduction from the list price granted to buyers. It is also
considered as a large deduction given to whole sellers and manufacturers to enable them to
make bigger profit. This is usually expressed as a percentage of the list price. This
percentage is known as trade discount rate or rate of discount. The resulting price after
the discount is applied is called the net price or the invoice price.
Assuming that list price and the discount rate are known. There are two methods in
determining the net price;
(a) Discount Method - The discount method is useful if you want to find out both net
price and the actual amount of the discount.
(b) Complement Method – this involves computing the complement rate, that is 100%
minus the discount rate. That is,
F. Discount Series – is s successive trade discount rates offer by the seller to dispose the
goods more quickly. Both discount and complement method can be used in computing the
net price for a series of discounts.

G. Equivalent Single Trade Discounts Rate – We have to remember that s discount series
of 20% and 10% is not the same to a single discount of 30%. To compute the single discount
rate, we first deduct each rate each rate in the discount series individually from 100%. Then
multiply the differences to get the net price. Finally, we deduct the net price from the list price
to get the single trade discount.

What is It

Sample Problems:

1. If a business marks the price of a V cut T-shirt bought for ₱100.00 to sell at ₱ 150.00.
What is the mark up price?

Solution:
Markup = Selling Price - Cost
Markup = ₱ 150.00 - ₱100.00
Markup = ₱50.00

A simple manipulation of the formula above will give us the following formula:
Selling Price = Cost + Markup
Cost = Selling Price – Markup

2. A dealer bought 15 crates of bananas at ₱ 11, 250.00. If the dealer imposed a 40%
markup rate based on the cost, Find the

a. cost per crate of the bananas; and


b. amount of markup per crate of bananas
Markup = Markup rate X Cost
and so;
Selling Price = Cost (1+ Markup rate)
Markup rate = Markup ÷ Cost

Solution:
(1) Cost = ₱ 11,250.00 ÷ 15 = ₱ 750.00 per crate of bananas.
(2) Selling Price = Cost (1+ Markup rate)
= ₱750 (1+.40) = ₱750 (1.40)
= ₱ 1,050.00 is the selling price per crate
(3) Markup = Markup rate X Cost
= 0.40 X ₱ 750.00
= ₱ 300.00
Another Method
Markup = Selling Price – Cost
= ₱ 1,050.00 - ₱ 750.00
= ₱ 300.00
3. A shop sells a laptop computer at ₱ 20,000.00. If each computer cost
₱ 16,500.00. What is the markup rate?

Solution: Solving for the Markup rate:


Markup = Selling price – Cost
= ₱ 20,000.00 - ₱ 16,500.00
Markup = ₱ 3,500.00

Another method for solving the Markup rate:

4. A home appliance retailer bought 10 electric fans at ₱ 1,050.00 each. He sold


each unit with 25% markup based on the selling price. Find the
(a). selling price for each of electric fan; and
(b) margin per electric fan.

Solution:

(a).
Selling Price = ₱ 1,400.00

(b) Margin = Selling Price – Cost


= ₱ 1,400.00 - ₱ 1,050.00
Margin = ₱ 350.00

5. Based on the above example, find the percentage margin?

Percentage Margin = Margin ÷ Selling Price


= ₱ 350 ÷ ₱ 1,400
Percentage Margin = 25%

Another Method:

Percentage Margin = 25%

6. An auto supply store sells auto spare parts for ₱ 9,600.00, subject to a 12% trade
discount. Calculate the discount price and the net?

(a) Solve for Discount Price


Solution:
Discount Price = Rate of discount X List Price
= (0.12) (₱ 9,600.00)
= ₱ 1,152.00
(b) Net Price (using discount method)
Net Price = List Price – Discount Price
= ₱ 9,600.00 -₱ 1,152.00
= ₱ 8,448.00
Net Price (using Complement method)
Complement rate = 100% - Trade discount rate
= 100% - 12%
= 88% or 0.88

Net Price = Complement Rate X List Price


= (0.88) (₱ 9,600.00)
= ₱ 8,448.00

7. Flor pays ₱ 390.00 for a dress listed at ₱ 650.00. What is the rate of discount?

Solution:

= 0.40 or 40%
8. A list price of a large flat screen television set is ₱ 27,450.00, subject to 10%, 8%,
and 5% trade discounts (series). Compute the net price of the television set.

Solution: Using the discount method, we have the following discount series net
prices.

List Price Discount Discount Price Net Price


Rate
₱ 27,450.00 10% (0.10) (₱27,450.00) = ₱2,745.00 ₱ 27,450 - ₱2,745 = ₱24,705.00
₱24,705.00 8% (0.08) (₱24,705.00) = ₱1,976.40 ₱24,705 - ₱1,976 = ₱22,728.60
₱22,728.60 5% (0.05) (₱22,728.60) = ₱1,136.43 ₱22,728.60 - ₱1,136.43 =
₱21,592.17
Thus, the net price of the television set is ₱21,592.17

Solution: Using the complement method to compute the net price of the product.
1. Express each trade discounts to 3. Multiply each result.
decimals. = (0.90) (0.92) (0.95) = 0.7866
10% = 0.10 4. Multiply the result to the list price.
8% = 0.08
5% = 0.05 Net Price = (0.7866) (₱27,450.00)
2. Subtract each from 1. = ₱21,592.17
1 – 0.10 = 0.90
1 – 0.08 = 0.92
1 – 0.05 = 0.95

9. A scientific calculator worth ₱ 1,495.00 is subject to 10% and 5% trade discounts. Find the
following:
(a) single trade discount rate equivalent to the two trade discounts.
(b) net price; and
(c) trade discount price.
Solution (a): Solving for the single rate discount
r = 1 – (1-10%) (1-5%)
r = 1 – (1-0.10) (1-.05)
r = 0.145 or 14.5%
Solution (b): Solving for the net price
Net Price = Complement Rate X List Price
→ →
= ₱ 1,278.23

Solving for the Trade discount price.


Trade discount = List Price – Net Price

5. An appliance store purchases refrigerators at ₱11,700.00 per unit. What is the
selling price per refrigerator if the store wishes to have a 30% margin?

What I Have Learned?

1. List Price – is the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for a product.


2. Margin – is the selling price minus the cost of goods sold.
3. Markup – A markup is the amount added to the cost of the merchandise to obtain
a higher amount known as selling price.
4. Markup based on Cost – means that the cost is the base and therefore taken as
100%.
5. Markup based on Selling Price – means that the selling price is the base and
taken as 100%.
6. Trade discount price – is the deduction from list price granted to buyers

The following are the formulas used.

1. Markup
Markup = Selling Price - Cost
Selling Price = Cost + Markup
Cost = Selling Price – Markup
2. Markup based on Cost
Markup = Markup rate X Cost
Selling Price = Cost (1+ Markup rate)
Markup rate = Markup ÷ Cost
3. Margin
Margin = Percentage Margin X Selling Price

4. Markup based on Selling Price

What I need to know

This material enables the student to be more aware on how business or an


entrepreneur gain profit and how they avoid losses on their business. At the end of
this material, the student should be able to:
1. Differentiate profit from loss.
2. Illustrate how profit is obtain and how to avoid loss in a given transaction.

What’s In?

A restaurant buys a case of 24 bottles of soft drink from a whole seller for ₱ 216.00. If
the list price is ₱ 288.00, find the rate of trade discount. If the restaurant sold each soft drink
at a price of ₱ 12.00, calculate the profit or loss of the restaurant from buying 24 bottles of
soft drink.

What’s New?

A. Determining Profit - profit is the difference between gross revenue and the total cost,
provided that revenue is greater than the cost. In other words, profit is the amount of money
left after all the costs and payables have been deducted from the earnings generated from
the business.
B. Avoiding Losses - is the difference between the total cost and the total revenue,
provided the cost is greater than the revenue.

What is It

Sample Problems:

1. A carinderia owner earned a total of ₱ 5, 650.00 for the day. Looking at her notebook, she
noted that she has spent a total of ₱ 3, 125.00 on the same day to cover all the ingredients
and other things she used to her store. Determine her profit for the day, if any?

Solution: Her gross revenue is ₱5,650.00, while her total cost is ₱3,125.00. Then, her profit
is given by:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= 5,650 – 3,125
Profit = ₱2, 525

bracelet, he spends ₱17.00 for the needed materials. How much is his profit if he was able
to sell 21 bracelets?
Solution: The amount of his total sales is ₱20 X 21 bracelets or ₱420.00, while his total cost
is ₱17 X 21 bracelets or ₱357.00. Then, his profit is given by

JBA
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= 420 – 357
Profit = ₱63
Alternatively, notice that he has to spend ₱17.00 to make one bracelet, but will
receive ₱20.00 if he sells them. Hence, for each bracelet, he will earn a profit of ₱20 - ₱17 or
₱3.00. Since he was able to sell 21 bracelets, then his profit is ₱3 X 21, or ₱63.00.

Given the unit price and the unit cost of any item, the profit per item is given by

Unit profit = Unit price – Unit costs


then, the total profit is given by
Profit = Unit Profit X Quantity Sold

Aside from the cost of goods sold, each business also has some fixed costs to cover.
These include utilities, labor, operating expenses, and so on. These are the costs that are
not affected by the amount of goods sold.

3. Maria owns a small pastry shop that sells cupcakes. Last month she was able to sell
1,012 cupcakes for ₱45.00 each. To produce one cupcake, she has to spend ₱33.00 for the
ingredients. Aside from the costs of goods bought, she has also to pay for the rent and
electricity that amount to ₱4,000.00 and ₱2,300, respectively. How much is her profit for the
month?

Solution:
Total sales = ₱45 X 1,012
= ₱45, 540.00
Production costs = ₱33 X 1,012
= ₱33,396.00. Then, her profit is given by
Profit = Revenue - Costs
Since, rent and electricity are her fixed cost, she has to include it in her total costs.
Therefore:

Profit = 45,450 – (33,396 + 4,000 + 2,300)


Profit = ₱5, 844

4. A small sari- sari store earned a total of ₱7, 124.00 last month. On the other hand, its
expenses include ₱5,145.00 for groceries and ₱2,100.00 for electricity. How much was its
profit, if any?

Solution:
Revenue = ₱7, 124.00
Total Costs = ₱5, 145.00 + ₱2, 100.00
= ₱7, 245.00.
Profit = Revenue – Cost
= ₱7, 124 - ₱7, 245, since cost is greater than the
revenue, then the store does not have a profit.

5. Determine the loss incurred by the sari - sari store.

Solution:
Revenue = ₱7, 124.00
Total Costs = ₱5, 145.00 + ₱2, 100.00
= ₱7, 245.00.

Loss = Cost - Revenue
= ₱7, 245 - ₱7, 124
Loss = ₱121.00
6. Betty plans to sell customized bags in upcoming bazaar. To create one bag, she has to
spend ₱412.00 for the materials, and she will sell it for ₱450.00. To participate in the bazaar,
she has to pay participation and rental fees totaling ₱5,000.00 If she was able to create 130
bags, and she believes she can sell them all, should she participate in the bazaar?

Solution:
Revenue = ₱450 X 130
Total Revenue = ₱58, 500.00
Fixed Cost = ₱5,000.00
Cost = ₱412 X 130 = ₱53, 560.00
Total Cost = ₱58,560

Since the total revenue is < the total cost, therefore the formula to be used is;
Loss = Cost – Revenue
= ₱58,560.00 - ₱58, 500.00
Loss = ₱60.00. Since she will incur a loss, it would be the best for her not to join the bazaar
or produce more bags to gain profit.

7. Andres designs and produces customized shirts. He sells them for ₱450.00 per shirt.
Plain shirts cost him ₱120.00, and his monthly utilities costs ₱7, 410.00. How much
customized shirts should he sell to avoid incurring losses?

Solution:
Let n be the number of shirts Andres should sell for him to avoid losses, his total revenue
must be greater that the total cost. Therefore,

Revenue > Cost


250n > 120n + ₱7,410
250n – 120n > ₱7,410
130n > ₱7,410
130 130
n > 57. That is, he has to sell more than 57 shirts to avoid losses.

What I need to know

This material enables the student to be more aware on how business or an


entrepreneur gain profit and how they avoid losses on their business. At the end of
this material, the student should be able to:
3. Differentiate profit from loss.
4. Illustrate how profit is obtain and how to avoid loss in a given transaction.

What’s In?

A restaurant buys a case of 24 bottles of soft drink from a whole seller for ₱ 216.00. If
the list price is ₱ 288.00, find the rate of trade discount. If the restaurant sold each soft drink
at a price of ₱ 12.00, calculate the profit or loss of the restaurant from buying 24 bottles of
soft drink.

What’s New?

A. Determining Profit - profit is the difference between gross revenue and the total cost,
provided that revenue is greater than the cost. In other words, profit is the amount of money
left after all the costs and payables have been deducted from the earnings generated from
the business.
B. Avoiding Losses - is the difference between the total cost and the total revenue,
provided the cost is greater than the revenue.

What is It

Sample Problems:

1. A carinderia owner earned a total of ₱ 5, 650.00 for the day. Looking at her notebook, she
noted that she has spent a total of ₱ 3, 125.00 on the same day to cover all the ingredients
and other things she used to her store. Determine her profit for the day, if any?

Solution: Her gross revenue is ₱5,650.00, while her total cost is ₱3,125.00. Then, her profit
is given by:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= 5,650 – 3,125
Profit = ₱2, 525

2. Juan sells bracelets to earn extra cash. He sells them for ₱20.00 each. To produce one
bracelet, he spends ₱17.00 for the needed materials. How much is his profit if he was able
to sell 21 bracelets?
Solution: The amount of his total sales is ₱20 X 21 bracelets or ₱420.00, while his total cost
is ₱17 X 21 bracelets or ₱357.00. Then, his profit is given by
s t
19 | B u s i n e s s M a t h : B u y i n g a n d S e l l i n g : 1 Quarter: Week5-9
JBA
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= 420 – 357
Profit = ₱63
Alternatively, notice that he has to spend ₱17.00 to make one bracelet, but will
receive ₱20.00 if he sells them. Hence, for each bracelet, he will earn a profit of ₱20 - ₱17 or
₱3.00. Since he was able to sell 21 bracelets, then his profit is ₱3 X 21, or ₱63.00.

Given the unit price and the unit cost of any item, the profit per item is given by

Unit profit = Unit price – Unit costs


then, the total profit is given by
Profit = Unit Profit X Quantity Sold

Aside from the cost of goods sold, each business also has some fixed costs to cover.
These include utilities, labor, operating expenses, and so on. These are the costs that are
not affected by the amount of goods sold.

3. Maria owns a small pastry shop that sells cupcakes. Last month she was able to sell
1,012 cupcakes for ₱45.00 each. To produce one cupcake, she has to spend ₱33.00 for the
ingredients. Aside from the costs of goods bought, she has also to pay for the rent and
electricity that amount to ₱4,000.00 and ₱2,300, respectively. How much is her profit for the
month?

Solution:
Total sales = ₱45 X 1,012
= ₱45, 540.00
Production costs = ₱33 X 1,012
= ₱33,396.00. Then, her profit is given by
Profit = Revenue - Costs
Since, rent and electricity are her fixed cost, she has to include it in her total costs.
Therefore:

Profit = 45,450 – (33,396 + 4,000 + 2,300)


Profit = ₱5, 844

4. A small sari- sari store earned a total of ₱7, 124.00 last month. On the other hand, its
expenses include ₱5,145.00 for groceries and ₱2,100.00 for electricity. How much was its
profit, if any?

Solution:
Revenue = ₱7, 124.00
Total Costs = ₱5, 145.00 + ₱2, 100.00
= ₱7, 245.00.
Profit = Revenue – Cost
= ₱7, 124 - ₱7, 245, since cost is greater than the
revenue, then the store does not have a profit.

5. Determine the loss incurred by the sari - sari store.

Solution:
Revenue = ₱7, 124.00
Total Costs = ₱5, 145.00 + ₱2, 100.00
= ₱7, 245.00.

6. Betty plans to sell customized bags in upcoming bazaar. To create one bag, she has to
spend ₱412.00 for the materials, and she will sell it for ₱450.00. To participate in the bazaar,
she has to pay participation and rental fees totaling ₱5,000.00 If she was able to create 130
bags, and she believes she can sell them all, should she participate in the bazaar?

Solution:
Revenue = ₱450 X 130
Total Revenue = ₱58, 500.00
Fixed Cost = ₱5,000.00
Cost = ₱412 X 130 = ₱53, 560.00
Total Cost = ₱58,560

Since the total revenue is < the total cost, therefore the formula to be used is;
Loss = Cost – Revenue
= ₱58,560.00 - ₱58, 500.00
Loss = ₱60.00. Since she will incur a loss, it would be the best for her not to join the bazaar
or produce more bags to gain profit.

7. Andres designs and produces customized shirts. He sells them for ₱450.00 per shirt.
Plain shirts cost him ₱120.00, and his monthly utilities costs ₱7, 410.00. How much
customized shirts should he sell to avoid incurring losses?

Solution:
Let n be the number of shirts Andres should sell for him to avoid losses, his total revenue
must be greater that the total cost. Therefore,

Revenue > Cost


250n > 120n + ₱7,410
250n – 120n > ₱7,410
130n > ₱7,410
130 130
n > 57. That is, he has to sell more than 57 shirts to avoid losses.

What I need to know

This material enables the student to be more aware on how business or an


entrepreneur gain profit and how they avoid losses on their business. At the end of
this material, the student should be able to:
5. Differentiate profit from loss.
6. Illustrate how profit is obtain and how to avoid loss in a given transaction.

What’s In?

A restaurant buys a case of 24 bottles of soft drink from a whole seller for ₱ 216.00. If
the list price is ₱ 288.00, find the rate of trade discount. If the restaurant sold each soft drink
at a price of ₱ 12.00, calculate the profit or loss of the restaurant from buying 24 bottles of
soft drink.

What’s New?

A. Determining Profit - profit is the difference between gross revenue and the total cost,
provided that revenue is greater than the cost. In other words, profit is the amount of money
left after all the costs and payables have been deducted from the earnings generated from
the business.
B. Avoiding Losses - is the difference between the total cost and the total revenue,
provided the cost is greater than the revenue.

What is It

Sample Problems:

1. A carinderia owner earned a total of ₱ 5, 650.00 for the day. Looking at her notebook, she
noted that she has spent a total of ₱ 3, 125.00 on the same day to cover all the ingredients
and other things she used to her store. Determine her profit for the day, if any?

Solution: Her gross revenue is ₱5,650.00, while her total cost is ₱3,125.00. Then, her profit
is given by:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= 5,650 – 3,125
Profit = ₱2, 525

2. Juan sells bracelets to earn extra cash. He sells them for ₱20.00 each. To produce one
bracelet, he spends ₱17.00 for the needed materials. How much is his profit if he was able
to sell 21 bracelets?
Solution: The amount of his total sales is ₱20 X 21 bracelets or ₱420.00, while his total cost
is ₱17 X 21 bracelets or ₱357.00. Then, his profit is given by
s t
25 | B u s i n e s s M a t h : B u y i n g a n d S e l l i n g : 1 Quarter: Week5-9
JBA
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= 420 – 357
Profit = ₱63
Alternatively, notice that he has to spend ₱17.00 to make one bracelet, but will
receive ₱20.00 if he sells them. Hence, for each bracelet, he will earn a profit of ₱20 - ₱17 or
₱3.00. Since he was able to sell 21 bracelets, then his profit is ₱3 X 21, or ₱63.00.

Given the unit price and the unit cost of any item, the profit per item is given by

Unit profit = Unit price – Unit costs


then, the total profit is given by
Profit = Unit Profit X Quantity Sold

Aside from the cost of goods sold, each business also has some fixed costs to cover.
These include utilities, labor, operating expenses, and so on. These are the costs that are
not affected by the amount of goods sold.

3. Maria owns a small pastry shop that sells cupcakes. Last month she was able to sell
1,012 cupcakes for ₱45.00 each. To produce one cupcake, she has to spend ₱33.00 for the
ingredients. Aside from the costs of goods bought, she has also to pay for the rent and
electricity that amount to ₱4,000.00 and ₱2,300, respectively. How much is her profit for the
month?

Solution:
Total sales = ₱45 X 1,012
= ₱45, 540.00
Production costs = ₱33 X 1,012
= ₱33,396.00. Then, her profit is given by
Profit = Revenue - Costs
Since, rent and electricity are her fixed cost, she has to include it in her total costs.
Therefore:

Profit = 45,450 – (33,396 + 4,000 + 2,300)


Profit = ₱5, 844

4. A small sari- sari store earned a total of ₱7, 124.00 last month. On the other hand, its
expenses include ₱5,145.00 for groceries and ₱2,100.00 for electricity. How much was its
profit, if any?

Solution:
Revenue = ₱7, 124.00
Total Costs = ₱5, 145.00 + ₱2, 100.00
= ₱7, 245.00.
Profit = Revenue – Cost
= ₱7, 124 - ₱7, 245, since cost is greater than the
revenue, then the store does not have a profit.

5. Determine the loss incurred by the sari - sari store.

Solution:
Revenue = ₱7, 124.00
Total Costs = ₱5, 145.00 + ₱2, 100.00
= ₱7, 245.00.

JBA
Loss = Cost - Revenue
= ₱7, 245 - ₱7, 124
Loss = ₱121.00
6. Betty plans to sell customized bags in upcoming bazaar. To create one bag, she has to
spend ₱412.00 for the materials, and she will sell it for ₱450.00. To participate in the bazaar,
she has to pay participation and rental fees totaling ₱5,000.00 If she was able to create 130
bags, and she believes she can sell them all, should she participate in the bazaar?

Solution:
Revenue = ₱450 X 130
Total Revenue = ₱58, 500.00
Fixed Cost = ₱5,000.00
Cost = ₱412 X 130 = ₱53, 560.00
Total Cost = ₱58,560

Since the total revenue is < the total cost, therefore the formula to be used is;
Loss = Cost – Revenue
= ₱58,560.00 - ₱58, 500.00
Loss = ₱60.00. Since she will incur a loss, it would be the best for her not to join the bazaar
or produce more bags to gain profit.

7. Andres designs and produces customized shirts. He sells them for ₱450.00 per shirt.
Plain shirts cost him ₱120.00, and his monthly utilities costs ₱7, 410.00. How much
customized shirts should he sell to avoid incurring losses?

Solution:
Let n be the number of shirts Andres should sell for him to avoid losses, his total revenue
must be greater that the total cost. Therefore,

Revenue > Cost


250n > 120n + ₱7,410
250n – 120n > ₱7,410
130n > ₱7,410
130 130
n > 57. That is, he has to sell more than 57 shirts to avoid losses.
