Question

Val buys a computer for $920. If this is 115% of what the store paid for the same computer, how much did the store earn on the sale?

Answer 1

Answer: $120 more earned by the store on the sale of same computer to Val.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Original cost of computer Val buys = $920

According to question , if this is 115% of what the store paid for the same computer,

So, the store paid for the same computer will be

$\frac{115}{100}\times x=920\\\\x=\frac{100}{115}\times 920\\\\x=\ 800$

So,  the store earned on the sale is given by

$\ 920-\ 800=\ 120$

Hence, $120 more earned by the store on the sale of same computer to Val.
