Question

A chair that cost $210 was reduced by 40% for a one day sale after the sale, the sale price was increased by 40% what is the price of the chairEnter

Answer 1

The best way to find percent is to use proportion. After using proportion your answer would probably be 84$. Remember the percent always goes over 100. so u would put 40 over 100 and 210 under n which is the part you don't know.

Answer 2

The price of the chair afterwards was $176.40. You take $210 and multiply it by .40 and get $84. Then you subtract it from 210 and get 126. Then take 126 multiply it by .40 and get $50.40 then you add it back to the $126 and get $176.40
