Answer:

$181.4

Explanation:

Note,

  • purchase price = $90.70.
  • initial markup of 150% = $90.70 * (150% or 150/100) + $90.70 = $226.75 ($136.05 + $90.70). Hence, this became the intended sale price wanted by the store.
  • mark down (-) 80% = $226.75 * (80% or 80/100) = $181.4.

Therefore, the store applied a discount price of $181.4 to the set of golf clubs.
