Question

pls help me i can't figure this out and i have to finish it​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because 20% of $10 will not be the same as 20% of a larger number

Step-by-step explanation:

120% of 10= 1.2(10)=$12

So we added $2 on the mark up.

Marking 20% off of $12 means the price will be 80% of 12= .8(12)= $9.60

This was a reduction of $2.40 which is 20% of $12

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of 10 is $2

Marked up: 10+2 = $12

Marked down: 20% of 12 is 2.40 = 12-2.40 = $ 9.60

20% of 10 is not the same as 20% of 12.
