Question

Gwen has loyalty card for a store that gives her a discount of 5% off the marked price of items. Office Chair $800, Acer Laptop $4580.

(a) How much will she pay if she bought the two items above?

(b) The store buys the chairs at $1 530 for two. Show whether the store made a profit on the one chair from Gwen’s Purchase.

Answer 1

a. ($800 x 0.95 = $760) + ($4580 x 0.95 = $4351) = $5111

b. $1530/2 = $765 per chair. Gwen buys one for $760 so the stored did NOT make a profit
