Question

a store marks up their merchandise by 70%. a customer buys a lampshade for $17.00, a rug for $88.40, a sculpture for $47.60, and he has a 20% off entire purchase coupon. how much profit did the store make from this customer?

Answer 1

$76.50

Explanation:

17.00 + 88.40 = 105.40

105.40 + 47.60 = 153.00

70% - 20% = 50%

$153.00 divided by 50% = $76.50
