Question

A pair of sneakers that cost $90 last year has now been marked up 25%. Mariel has a coupon that is going to take 10% off the price of the shoes. Is the price that she will pay equivalent to a 15% markup of the original cost of the shoes? Show your work.

Answer 1

Your answer is no.

Explanation:

The answer is no because when using the coupon she's only getting 10% off of the price AFTER 25% is added.

10% off of the original price is: $81.00

10% off of the new price is: $101.25
