Question

During a sale, a store offered a 40% discount on a bed that originally sold for $840. After the sale, the discounted price of the bed was marked up by 40%. What was the price of the bed after the markup? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$705.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Discounted price:

$840 × (100% - 40%)

= $840 × 60%

= $840 ÷ 100 × 60

= $504

Markup:

$504 × (100% + 40%)

= $504 × 140%

= $504 ÷ 100 × 140

= $705.60

i hope this helps! :D
