Cost = 40*3.20 + 0.2*40*3.26 = $153.60
P=153.6 + 0.8*153.6 = $276.48 = Selling
price for 40 dinners.
276.48/40 = $6.91 Each.
(6.91-1.00)/6.91 = 85.5%

Correction:
Cost = 40 * 3.20 = $128
A = 128 + 0.8*128 = $230.40 = Amt. to be
received.
(40-8)dinners * $D/dinner = 230.40
32D = 230.40
D = $7.20/dinner.
(7.20-1.00)/7.20 = 0.861 = 86.1%
% Markdown = 100 - 86.1 = 13.9
