when calculating the cost of a good or
service, you often have to consider price
markups and discounts. consider these two
statements regarding a discounted item:
• the list price of the item is 80 percent of
the original price.
the price of the item has been reduced by
80 percent.
write a pair of linear equations using variables
of your choice to prove that these two
statements are not equivalent. explain how a
calculation for change in percentage
(increase or decrease) is different from a
calculation that involves multiplying by
percentages. why is the wording of
percentage problems so importante give
examples to illustrate your point.
