Kitchen chairs are purchased wholesale for $36 each by a discount furniture store. Then, the store marks up the chairs by 60 percent. The store has a special sale where all items are marked down by 20 percent. How much would two chairs cost during the sale? $46.08 $57.60 $92.16 $115.20

You can find the cost for one, then just multiply that by 2.

darkknight:

so $36 purchased, than marked up 60% which means you take 36 and multiply by 1.6. Then marked down by 20% so you take what you got when you multiplied 36 by 1.6 and multiply by .8. \ You do this because marking down 20% is the same as 80%, and .8 in decimal equals 80%
