I want to know, how do Costco's sale prices (coupon book) affect the markup/margins on a product? If the normal markup is less than 11%, is the sale price markup less than say 5%? Edit: Or alternatively, are Costco sales negotiate

And as another example, Mac OS X (10), which debuted in 2000, has had every subsequent version continued to be named 10.X. Just this week, macOS 10.15 Catalina was released. Funny that the name Mac OS X went to OS X and then (back) to macOS
