Question

You are shopping for a video game system.

Answer 1

11.9%

This is because after the markups, A will cost 226.80 compared to C's 200. You can then divide the C cost by the A cost to see what percentage would be required to get lower. <span />

Answer 2

Answer:

11.82%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Cost to store A=4162

Cost to store=$155

Cost to store C=$160

Markup for store A=40%

Markup for store B=30%

Markup for store C=25%

Markup price=Cost price\times (100+markup)

Markup price for store A=$162\times (100+0.4)=$$226.80

Markup price for store B=$155\times 1.3$=$201.50

Markup price for store C=$160\times 1.25=$$200

So, the best deal is store C.

If we purchased from  store A then the price should be less than store C.

It means the price of store A should be less than $200 that is $199.99.

Discount=226.80-199.99=$26.81

Discount %=$\frac{26.81}{226.80}\times 100=11.82$

Hence, the store A  must offer discount 11.82% to buy the system there.
