Did you mean "Dan sold a gold chain at shs1,500,000. He lost 25% of the cost he paid. What was Dan's cost and how much did he loose?"
shs1,500,000 is (1 - 25%) of cost price
1,500,000 = (1 - .25) * cost price
1,500,000 = .75 * (cost price)
1,500,000/.75 = cost price
cost price = shs2,000,000
total loss was 2,000,000 - 1,500,000 = shs500,000
(new price-old price)/old price=%changed. (20.5-16.4)/16.4=4.1/16.4=25% increase.
The sale price is $156.00
You will have a better time negotiating the price of your television at a local store versus a national chain store. You can show an estimate or advertisement from a chain store to show the local store how you would like to get a better price. They may be able to grant you ten percent off the advertised price, at your request.
Percent means "hundredths". To get 10% of a price, multiply the price by 10/100.

multiply the chain's gold content by the price of one gram of 14K gold. For example, if the price is $31.60, the value of the chain's gold is $110.54. To estimate the 14K gold chain price, mark down the piece's index price by 20-30%.
How to calculate sale price if marked price and percent discount are given:First change the percent discount to a decimal.You then multiply the percent discount in decimal form by the marked price.Finally, you subtract the answer from the multiplication problem from the marked price, and get your final answer!
Suppose percent discount is D. Then Marked Price = Sale Price/(1-D/100)
A gold cross chain can range anywhere from one to three thousand dollars. The price of the chain varies depending on if it is real gold, the quality of the gold, and on who manufactured and sold the chain.
It is 100*(1 - Discounted price/Full price) or 100*Discount amount/Full price
if p is the percent increase, multiply the old price by (1+p) to get the new increased price.
