Question

I need help again lol <3
A music store buys instruments and then sells them for 30% more than they paid.
During a 20% off sale, the store offers a clarinet for $93.60.


How much did the store pay for the clarinet?

Answer 1

$93.60 x 0.2 = $18.72

$93.60 + $18.72 = $112.32 = Price before 20% discount.

$112.32 ÷ 100 x 30 = $33. 696 = Discount of 30%

$112.32 - $33.696 = $78.624 = Original Price

Therefore, the store paid $78.624 for the clarinet before the 30% markup and 20% discount.

It's just a process of working backwards.

Hope this helps :))
