11th Grade Markup and Discount Quizzes

Frame each problem as a relationship among wholesale cost, percentage change, and selling price. Once students can calculate a direct markup or discount, move to missing-value problems and successive changes, requiring them to explain which price serves as the base each time.

Strong practice includes calculating retail price from wholesale cost, finding an original price from a sale price, and comparing promotions. A useful challenge is to ask whether 20% off followed by 10% off gives the same result as one 30% discount, then have students justify the answer numerically.

Watch for students who use the selling price instead of the cost as the markup base, treat a discount amount as the final price, or combine successive rates before calculating. Their written setup should show the base price for every percentage change.

Wayground quizzes can be hosted as digital quizzes or downloaded as printable PDFs, accommodating online, hybrid, and paper-based classes. Each quiz has a complete answer key; teachers using paper can also grade submissions by scanning or capturing student work in the Wayground for Teachers app.

Common Core treats markup and discount as applications of proportional relationships, percent change, and algebraic modeling. Grade 11 work can progress from direct price calculations to solving backward for an original value and analyzing how successive markups or discounts affect the final price.

Use extended time and reduced answer choices for students who need less time pressure or cognitive load. A translated quiz version can help multilingual learners focus on the percentage relationships rather than unfamiliar retail vocabulary.

Yes. They are intended for Grade 11 mathematics and emphasize commercial applications such as wholesale cost, selling price, profit margin, and successive price changes.
