Answer:

The retail price of the mattress before discount is <u>$2400</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A furniture store pays a wholesale price for a mattress. Then, the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the whole price.

Later, they put the mattress on sale For 50% off though.

The customer just left the match is on sale and paid $1200.

Now, to get the retail price of the mattress before the discount.

Let the retail price of mattress before discount be x.

And the discount = 50%.

Price customer paid after discount = $1200.

Thus, according to question:

x-50\%\ of\ x=1200.

x-\frac{50}{100} \times x=1200.

x-\frac{50x}{100}=1200.

x-\frac{x}{2}=1200.

\frac{2x-x}{2}=1200.

\frac{x}{2}=1200.

Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:

x=2400.

Therefore, the retail price of the mattress before discount is $2400.
