Profit = 8%

If the briefcase was marked down 20% from 1500 you multiply 1500 x .2 = 300 in order to calculate the discount.

Calculate the discounted price:

1500 - 300 = 1200

Calculate 10% discount of 1200:

1200 x .1 = 120

Calculate the sales price:

1200 - 120 = 1080

The last step is to calculate the profit/loss is the cost is 1000.

The briefcase sold for 1080 and the company paid 1000 for it, so there was a profit of 80.

The percentage is calculate by dividing 80/1000 = 8% profit

Simple interest is basically the cost of borrowing money over a period of time.  So if you have borrowed $110.00 at 5% for two years, you will multiply the 5% by the two years (presuming that it is 5% annual percentage rate (APR).  So, You will multiply the 110 by 10% (or .1) to get $11 dollars of simple interest.
