Question

A particular style of sunglasses costs the retailer $90 per pair. At what price should the retailer mark them so he can sell them at a 10%

discount off the original price and still make 40 % profit on his cost?

Answer 1

$126

Explanation:

90 x 1.40 = $126 = 40% profit of cost.

126 / 0.90 = $140 original price before 10%

= $126 discounted price

proof 140 x 0.10 = $14

140 - 14 = $126 the price wanted.
