Question

A store bought a swing set at a cost of $90 and marked it up 180%. Later on, the

store marked it down 50%, What was the final discount price?

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the store's selling price after marking up the swing set by 180%:

Selling price = Cost price + Mark up

Selling price = $90 + (180% of $90)

Selling price = $90 + $162

Selling price = $252

So the store's selling price for the swing set was $252.

Next, the store marked it down by 50%, which means the new selling price is:

New selling price = Selling price - (50% of Selling price)

New selling price = $252 - (50% of $252)

New selling price = $252 - $126

New selling price = $126

Therefore, the final discount price of the swing set is $126.
