Question

A store charges $280 for a coat. This price is 40 percent more than the amount it cost the store to buy the coat. At the end-of-season sale, the store employees can purchase any remaining coats at 30 percent off the price that store paid for them. How much would it cost an employee to purchase the coat at the sale?

Answer 1

$78.40

Explanation:

280 is the money the store charges so the amount the store buys it at is 280*(40/100)which is 112 so the employees get 30% off of 112 which is 70% of 112 which is 78.4

Answer 2

84$ i think because the store bought the coat for 280$ and so they get the discount 30% off the store price... So 280*30%=84$
