The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

C.) old price was $170, new price is $159.12

Explanation:

The original price was $136. For a 25% markup, this means the amount of markup is 0.25(136) = 34. This makes the new price 136+34 = $170.

When they mark the price down to a 17% markup, this means the price is 0.17(136)+136 = 23.12+136 = $159.12.

lana [24]
Ft (full time)= $2,400/ monthpt (part time)= $200/ week15% taken from taxes------------------------- 1 year= 12 months; 1 month= 4 weeks (12*2,400) + (4*12*200)= $38,400 you made in a year I set up the problem this way because you want to know how much you made that whole year, so if there are 12 months in a year, and you get paid $2,400 a month, then from your full time job you ear (12*2,400). From your PT job you make $200 a week, there are 4 weeks in a month and 12 months in a year, so to calculate what you earned from your PT job, you do: 4*12*200 15% of what you made is deducted from taxes:0.15(38,400)= $5,760 After taxes, you made:$38,400-$5760= $32,640
