Question

A sporting goods store manager was selling a ski set for a certain price. The manager offered the markdowns shown on the right, making the one day sale price of the ski set $324. Find the original selling price of the ski set.

Answer 1

$519

Explanation:

We know that the one day sale price of the ski set is $324 and the markdowns are specified.

A markdown means a reduction in price, so to find the original selling price we need to add the amount of markdown to the sale price.

The markdown of the ski set is $75 + $120 = $195

So, to find the original selling price we need to add the markdown amount to the sale price:

$324 + $195 = $519

Therefore, the original selling price of the ski set was $519
