Final answer:
The laptop computer initially costs $531.00 after two discounts of 3381/3% and 1682/3% are applied. Then, a markup of 18381/3% is added to the cost. Finally, the price is reduced by 6682/3% for quick sale. The final price of the laptop computer after all calculations is $482.98.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of the laptop computer is given as $531.00 less 3381/3% and 1682/3%.
To calculate this, we first find the percentages of the cost:
3381/3% = (3381/3/100) = 11.27%
1682/3% = (1682/3/100) = 5.60%
Then, we subtract these percentages from the cost of the laptop computer:
Cost after 3381/3% discount: $531.00 - (11.27% of $531.00) = $471.15
Cost after 1682/3% discount: $471.15 - (5.60% of $471.15) = $444.00
Finally, we calculate the markup of 18381/3% on the cost:
Markup: 18381/3% = (18381/3/100) = 61.27%
Markup on the cost: 61.27% of $444.00 = $271.98
The final price of the laptop computer after the markup is the cost plus the markup:
Final price: $444.00 + $271.98 = $715.98
To calculate the quick sale price, we reduce the price by 6682/3%:
Quick sale price: $715.98 - (6682/3% of $715.98) = $482.98
