Radda [10]3 years ago

Remark

Whatever the original price, he gets 70% in the first instance.

He gets 80% in the second instance.

He gets 90% in the third instance

His total income is 240 dollars.

Let the original price be x

Equation

70%x + 80%x +90%x = 240

70% = 0.7 ; 80% = 0.8 ;90% = 0.9

Solution

0.7x + 0.8x + 0.9x = 240 Take out x as a common factor and add the decimals.

x (0.7 + 0.8 + 0.9) = 240

2.4x = 240 Divide both sides by 2.4

x = 240/2.4

x = 100

So the watches should have brought in 3*100 = 300 dollars.

He only brought in 240 dollars.

He lost 300 - 240 = 60 dollars.

The answer is B.
