Question

A show salesman marked up a pair of sandals in the spring by 75% and advertised them for $42.00. In the fall, he put them on sale at a 30% discount. What was the original price of the sandals, before the markup? How much were they selling for after the fall discount?

Answer 1

Ok from what you know, you need to find out what 1/4 of 42 is. And you must find out what 30% of 42 is.

Answer 2

a = 75/100 of x = $42
price after fall = a + 30% of a

Answer 31

lol just show the work? with answers? :L

Answer 32

$42.00/25%= $10.50 , $42.00* 30%= $29.40 I hope im right

Answer 33

40*30% is 12.6

Answer 34

42*

Answer 35

Oops, 42.00*30%= 12.6, then 42-12.6=29.40

Answer 36

Sorry

Answer 37

42.00*30%= 12.6, then 42-12.6=29.40 makes no sense..

Answer 38

the last part..

Answer 39

ok, he deducted the price by 30 percent, which is 12.6 so you have to do 42-12.6

Answer 40

That good?

Answer 41

Hello?

Answer 42

nah..

Answer 43

show it step by step :L

Answer 44

ugh gotta go to bed... can you do it alone

Answer 45

This doesn't seem right. If you increase something by 75%, doesn't that mean you need you are adding the original price and seventy five percent of the original price to get 42 dollars. That means x+.75x=42

Answer 46

can you put it in all numbrs?

Answer 47

instead of writing.. this is math e,e

Answer 48

For the second problem, I am unsure if the number being marked down by 30% is thè original or the price after it was marked up. Either way, multiply whatever price by .30 and then subtract that value from what you started with.for example, 30% less of $42 would be $42-(.3x42)
