Question

Originally, a department store bought a set of dishes at a cost of $57.68 and marked it up 125%. After a month, the set of dishes had not sold, so the store marked it down 50%. What was the discounted price?

Answer 1

Answer:

$64.89

Step-by-step explanation:

57.68 + 1.25 × 57.68

= 57.68 + 72.1

= 129.78

The original price was $129.78.

129.78 – 0.50 × 129.78

= 129.78 – 64.89

= 64.89

The discount price was $64.89.
