Answer 7

you want to make at 10% profit, and 10% of 2000 is 200

Answer 8

you are going to offer a 20% discount, and after the discount you need to get 2200

Answer 9

so to find the price before the discount take
\[2200\div.8=2750\]

Answer 10

@LILG why an extra 5% profit ??

Answer 11

to cover for the difference in price because you will be taking out 20% of the final price

Answer 12

but satellites way is much better then mine

Answer 13

Let x=retail price and y=marked price
x=(1-.20)y-(.10x)
1.10x=.80y
y=(1.10/.80)(2000)
y=2750

Answer 14

in other words you need to solve "after a 20% reduction the price is 2200" which is the same as saying "80% of what number is 2200" or in math
\[.80\times x =2200\]
\[x=2200\div .8\]

Answer 15

2000 * 0.1 = 200

2000 + 200 = 2200

2200 = 0.8x (To find out how much the price will be to take out 20% discount and still have 10% profit value)

2200 / 0.8 = 0.8x / 0.8

2750 = x
