Question

A store marks up a laptop 150% from its original price of $399. There is a sale for 25% off all items in the store. What is the sale price for the computer

Answer 1

multiply the original price ($299) by the first markup percentage (150%)

299*1.50= $448.50

that is markup price!

then you have to do the sale % (25%)

so you'll multiply your (25%) by your new price ($448.50)

448.50*.25= $112. 125

then you will subtract the sale price ($112.125) by the upcharged price ($448.50)

448.50-112.125= 336. 375

= $336. 38(round off)
