Question

the original price for a set of golf clubs is $500 at the beginning of the seasons the price was marked up by 20% at the end of the seasons the price at the beginning of the season is marked down by 20% how does the final price compare with the original price of $500​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price marked up by 20%= 500+ $\frac{20}{100}$×500

                                        =$600

price marked down by 20%= 600- $\frac{20}{100}$×600

                                             =$480

the final price is less than the original price

Answer 2

Answer: The final price is less than the original

Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us break this down a bit.

The original price is $500

-> At the beginning, the price was marked up by 20%

-> At the end, the price at the beginning of the season is marked down by 20%

    We are solving for: "How does the final price compare with the original price of $500​"

        First, we will find the price at the beginning.

-> Please note a percent divided by 100 becomes a decimal

20% / 100 = 0.2

$500 * 0.2 = $100

$500 + $100 = $600

     Now, we will find the price at the end.

$600 * 0.2 = $120

$600 - $120 = $480

     The final price is less than the original price of $500.
