Question

A store bought a balance beam at a cost of $68 and marked it up 150%. Later on, the store marked it down 70%. What was the discount price?

Answer 1

Balance beam price=68$(100%)
Increase of 150%
Discount of 70%

Price after increase= 68$x(100%+150%)
=68$x250%
=68$x2.5
=170$

Discount price=170$x70%
=170$x0.7
=119$

The discount price is 119$.
