The Gram is the unit of weight, and equal to the weight of a cube of distilled water, the edge of which is one hundredth of a meter, equal to 15.432 Troy grains. The Kilogram, or Kilo, is the unit of common weight in trade, and is a trifle less than 2 lbs. Avoirdupois. The Tonneau is used for weighing very heavy articles, and is about 204 lbs. more than a common ton. MARKING GOODS. Removing the decimal point one place to the left on the cost of a dozen articles, gives the cost of one article with 20 per cent. added. We remove the point one place to the left, because 12 tens make 120. Hence, to find the selling price, to gain the required percentage of profit, we have the following general rule: RULE.—Remove the decimal point one place to the left on the cost per dozen, to gain 20 per cent.; increase or diminish to find the percentage, as per following table: TABLE FOR MARKING ALL GOODS BOUGHT BY THE DOZEN. To make 20% remove the point 1 place to left. 1,209,561 847,452 556,930 503,298 POPULATION OF CITIES. POPULATION OF CITIES. 107 Table showing the Population of the principal Cities and New York..
