In order to clear out room for new merchandise, James decided to mark down some of the items for sale in his electronics store.
He marked down DVD players by 36%, and he marked down stereo tuners by 22%. If DVD players cost $41.60 after the markdown and stereo tuners cost $69.42 after the markdown, which item’s price was reduced by more, and by how many dollars more was it reduced? Round all dollar values to the nearest cent. a.The DVD player’s price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner’s price. b.The DVD player’s price was reduced by $27.82 more than the stereo tuner’s price. c.The stereo tuner’s price was reduced by $0.29 more than the DVD player’s price. d.The stereo tuner’s price was reduced by $27.53 more than the DVD player’s price.
Lets day the original price of the dvd player was $100, 36% marked down means you pay $64x 64x = $41.60 100x = 100/54 x 41.60 = 4160/64 = #65.00 = original cost similarly, stereo tuners = 100/78 x 69.42 = 6942/78 = $89 original cost DVD = 65- 41.60 = $ 23. 40 less Stereo = 89- 69.42 = $ 19.58 less Diffrence is $ 3.82 so your answer is the dvd player price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner.
We know 1 angle is 50 degrees so that means the angle across will also be 50 degrees so that means 2 will be 40 degrees cause that is a complimentary angle and complimentary angles add up to 90 Hope this explains well!
