'Descriptions of quantitative relations given below are expressed in terms of buying. In some cases changes in terminology would be necessary if the activity were to be considered from the standpoint of selling.

"Total price" is used to designate the amount received for several units of the same commodity rather than the amount received for several commodities.

"Price" is used to designate the quantity taken as a basis of computation. Usually "price" refers to the value or worth of a unit rather than a specified number of units. "Price" is often limited by the qualifying terms cost, selling, marked, and list.

2. given the total price and the price per unit in another denomination.

B3 Carrying on a business.

Note: Types listed under "carrying on a business" are similar in certain respects to those found under the activity of "buying and selling," but in general the following distinction prevails. The problems under B1 and B2 are those in which a purchaser is explicitly involved and in which he may be expected to be interested, at least to the extent of checking the solution by the seller. The problems under B3 are those which in general only the one carrying on the business will encounter. The degree of magnitude of the quantities of the problem and the terminology were also used as criteria. In cases where the distinction is not obvious, a footnote indicates similarities or differences.

a. To find the selling price:

1. (a) given the cost price, rate of net profit, and rate of overhead. (Profit and overhead are figured on the cost price.)
