Harry wants 20% profit so he needs to sell at 80 + 20% = 80*1.20 = 96 Then 96 is after 20% off the marked price so x = 96/0.80 = 120.

Prove that profit maximizing firm will always minimise?

Profit is equal to total revenue minus total costs, if a firm wants to maximize its profit it has to lower the cost of producing a given level of output and or increase the item price if there is a willing buyer. If a firm is not minimizing costs then there exists a way for the firm to increase profits.


Jim wants to buy some new shoes A local shoe shop has a pair for 59.95 with a 10 percent discount Another shop has the same pair for 75.99 with a 25 percent discount?

To compute a 10 percent discount, simply take 90 percent (100 percent minus 10 percent) of the original price. This is .10 x 59.95. Likewise, a 25 percent discount is 75 percent of the original price. So compute .75 x 75.99.

How do you figure out a problem that wants to know the original price and gives you the amount of discount?

Let x equal the original price. Let's say the sale is 25 percent off. That means that 0.75x = the sale price. To find the original price, divide the sale price by the decimal equivalent of 100 minus the discount. Example: You bought an item for 48.00 that was marked as being 20 percent off the original price. The original price was 48.00 divided by 0.80 or 60.00


Can a car dealer change a price on a car?

Unless a car company clearly states that their car is a certain price at ALL dealerships, a dealer can make a car as expensive or cheap as he wants. A dealer will set a price so it is not so cheap as to cause loss of profit, but not so expensive that it wont sell.
