Please help!! markup and markdown word problems.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) $343

2) $40

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Kathy paid (100 - 30)% of 490

so we can multiply 490 by 70%

490 x .7 = 343

2)  let 'x' = original price

if she's saving 10% (or .10) then she's paying 90% (or .90)

.9x = 36

x = 36/.9

x = 40
