1) selling price = 60 + .25*60 = 75.
Final price after discount = .8 * 75 = 60
Gross profit = 0

2) Let x be the fraction that each cup needs to be filled to
2x + 4x = 4
x = 2/3

3) Interest for first month = 10,000 * 12/100 * 1/12 = 100
Amount as of Aug 1 = 10000 + 100 = 10100

Interest for second month = 10100 * 12/100 * 1/12 = 101
Amount as of Sep 1 = 10100 + 101 = 10201

I think for the first problem the text says "markup that was 25 percent of the selling price" not from the merchant price.
