Question

A music player was marked down by 1/4 of the original price.

Answer 1

Answer:

A ) The Original price of music player before it was marked down by  $\dfrac{1}{4}$  is $512

B ) The price that store paid for player is $256

C ) The difference between discount price and price paid by store is $128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A ) The sale price of music player = $128

The music player is marked down by $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of original price

Let The original price = $x

Now, According to question

$\dfrac{1}{4}$ of original price = $128

i.e $\dfrac{1}{4}$ × $x = $128

Or, x = 128 × 4

∴ x = $512

So, The Original price of music player before it was marked down by  $\dfrac{1}{4}$  is $512

B ) The music player is marked up by $\dfrac{1}{2}$ before it was placed on sales floor .

Let The price that store paid for player = $y

Now, According to question

∵ The original price of player = $512

So, The price that store paid for player = $\dfrac{1}{2}$  × original price of player

i.e y =  $\dfrac{1}{2}$  × $512

Or , y = $256

So,The price that store paid for player = $256

C ) Let The difference between discount price and price paid by store = $z

So, According to question

z = y - discount price

Or , z = $256 - $128

∴  z = $128

So, The difference = $128

Hence, A ) The Original price of music player before it was marked down by  $\dfrac{1}{4}$  is $512

B ) The price that store paid for player is $256

C ) The difference between discount price and price paid by store is $128
