A sales tax of 7% 2016-12-07
Kenneth pose la question :
Hello:

If a sales tax of 7% is placed on every $1.00 of merchandise for sale, is it correct to indicate the tax as 7%/ per $1.00 or 7%/$1.00? If the calculation is expressed as 7%/$1.00 X $5.00, the tax is not $0.35 but 0.35. Is a tax rate of 7% incorrectly represented as 7%/$1.00 since the dollar unit cancels from the multiplication?

I thank you for your reply.

Markup and discount to get a sale price 2013-03-02
Warren pose la question :

If you are an ardent shopper you will be aware of the discount (% decrease) marketing strategy to produce the sale price. I began to wonder just how much mark-up (% increase) was added initially to an item in order to deliver the discounted sale price.

It was simple to construct a formula to convert one to the other.

For example a 30% (mark down) decrease in price required a 42.86% (mark up) to increase the price initially to Tag price. However when I started apply the formulae to a number of circumstances I noticed some very interesting circumstances associated with this relationship

For example a 99.999999% decrease is numerically equal to a 9,999,999,925% increase (huge ratio difference) while conversely a 0.1% decrease is numerically equal to a 0.10010010% increase (Infinitesimally small ratio difference) so the patterns appears logarithmic not linear.

However what really caught my attention was this pattern

See http://www.ozsmart.com/doc/percentage.htm

My questions is why does the decline in the ratio of increases in required mark up (%) price peak at 50 and 51% precisely and then expand again as the percentage move higher

Any explanation would be appreciated

Andrea pose la question :
An encyclopedia saleman call at a home. The woman who answers the door says she will buy something from him if he can give the ages of her three children. The first clue, she says, is the three ages multiplied together equal 36. he responds that he needs more infomration, so she says that the threee ages add up to the number of the bus that passed by (the prof did not give us this number) He thinks for a while and says he needs one more clue. So she says, my youngest child has red hair, and he is able to answer and make the sale. what are the ages of the three children? (hint: the salesman needed all three clues to get the answer).
