Question

Cliff works in the sporting goods department of Sports Are Us. His boss, Maria told him to mark down the price of soccer balls a total of 75% off the original price.The items are already selling at 50% off. The original price was $44.96. Cliff took an additional 25% off the sale price. We're the customers overcharged or undercharged and by how much?

Answer 1

The original selling price is $44.96
Taking 75% off results to $11.24 (which should be the correct selling price)

But Cliff took 25% off after taking 50% off the original price
Taking 25% off results to $33.72 and taking another 50% off results to $16.86

The customers are overcharged by $16.68 - $ 11.24 = $5.62
