To find out the price after the case was marked up, you need to multiple 15 by 4.7. You should then get 70.50 as your answer.

To work out 10% of 70.50, you need to do 70.50/10 which should get you 7.05.

To work out the final price, you need to get the discount and then take it away from the marked up price which gets you a total of $63.45.

Answer:

$63.45

Explanation:

first, find 470% of 15. 470*15=$70.50. then, find 10% of it. 70.50 divided by 10 = $7.05. then subtract it from the new price to get the final price. 70.50 - 7.05 = $63.45
