A sporting goods store manager was selling a ski set for a certain price. The manager offered the markdowns​ shown, making the​ one-day sale price of the ski set ​$325. Find the original selling price of the ski set. It was marked down 10% and 30%

Answer:

The original selling price would be approximately $ 515.87.

Explanation:

Let x be the original selling price ( in dollars ),

After marking down 10%,

New selling price =
`x - 10\% \ of \ x = x - 0.1x = 0.9x`

Again after marking down 30%,

`\textrm{Final selling price} = 0.9x - 30\% \ of \ 0.9x\\`

`\textrm{Final selling price}= 0.9x - 0.3 * 0.9x\\\textrm{Final selling price}= 0.9x - 0.27x\\\textrm{Final selling price}= 0.63x`

According to the question,

`0.63x = 325\\\\x=(325)/(0.63)\\\\x\approx \$515.87`

Hence,the original selling price would be approximately $ 515.87.
