Call the merchant's cost 'C'. After marking up the merchandise 40% from
his cost, he hangs a price tag on it marked [ 1.4C ].
A customer walks in who's willing to buy if he can get a deal. The merchant
offers him a 10% discount, whereupon the customer ... thinking he has out-
smarted the merchant ... pulls out his plastic and makes the purchase.
The price he pays is 10% below the figure on the price tag, or (0.9) of (1.4C) = 1.26C .
The merchant has collected 26% over and above his cost.
Suppose percent discount is D. Then Marked Price = Sale Price/(1-D/100)
You save $128.00 and the sale price is $672.00
$3.39
If the pants are priced at $35.00 and they are discounted by 20 percent then: $35.00 x .20 (20%) it would equal a savings of $7.00 or the pants would cost $28 after the discount had been applied.
You would pay $18.38.
How to calculate sale price if marked price and percent discount are given:First change the percent discount to a decimal.You then multiply the percent discount in decimal form by the marked price.Finally, you subtract the answer from the multiplication problem from the marked price, and get your final answer!
The discount is about 17.4%
Suppose percent discount is D. Then Marked Price = Sale Price/(1-D/100)
$7.00
10% discount on an item marked 30.00 is 3.00
You pay $10.80
You save $128.00 and the sale price is $672.00
$997.15
The answer should be -10% as the discount price 10% more than the original price.
the answer is $7.00. turn 20% to a decimal .20 multiply $35.00 by .20 and you will get 7
9.00 or 9
$5.00
