Question

A sporting goods store manager was selling a ski set for a certain price. The manager offered the markdowns shown on the right, making the one day sale price of the ski set $328. Find the original selling price of the ski set.

Answer 1

Answer:

The original selling price is $520.632

Explanation:

Consider the initial selling price be $x

After marking down 10%,

Final Selling price  = Selling price(1-10%)

Selling price = x – 10% of x = x – 0.1x = 0.9x

After marking 30%

Final Selling price  = Selling price(1-10%)

Selling price = 0.9x – 0.3*0.9x = 0.9x – 0.27x = 0.63x

According to the question,

0.63x = 328

$x = \frac{328}{0.63} = 520.635$

Therefore, the original selling price is $520.632
