- Marked Price (MP): price on the tag.
- Discount: amount reduced: \( \text{Discount} = \text{MP}\times\dfrac{\text{discount\%}}{100} \).
- Selling Price (SP): \( \text{SP} = \text{MP} - \text{Discount} = \text{MP}\left(1 - \dfrac{\%}{100}\right) \).
- To get MP from SP and discount \%: \( \text{MP} = \dfrac{\text{SP}}{1 - \frac{\%}{100}} \).
- Commission: \( \text{Commission} = \text{Amount}\times\dfrac{\text{rate\%}}{100} \).
