A cost for a stereo was$27. the markup was 75%. A customer purchased the it on sale 40% off the marked up price. What is the purchase price of the stereo?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You first add 27 x .75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry 27+27x.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you get your the answeryou then do 27+27(.75)=x x-x(.40) to getyou r answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain it to me more because I got 4050 gor an answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 27+27(.75)= $47.25 this is the marked up price

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27 times 75% or .75 equils $20.25 when you add 20.25 to 27 you get 47.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you multiply 47.25 by 40% or .40 thata nswer is 18.90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you subtract 18.90 from 47.25 and that is what was payed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did that help you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah is the answer 28.35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup
