Kitchen chairs are purchased wholesale for $36 each by a discount furniture store then the store marks up the chairs by 60% the store has a special sale where all items are marked down by 20%. How much would two chairs cost during the sale

Respuesta :

1 chair = $36.00
Chairs were marked up by 60%
Turn 60% to a decimal = 0.6 (to multiply easier)
You get the price of the chair which is 36 and multiply it with the 60%.
36 x 0.6 = 21.60
You add the 21.60 to the 36.00 to get the new price of the chair.
$36.00 + $21.60 = $57.60
Now they have a 20% sale. (Goes down)
Again turn the 20% to a decimal = 0.2
Multiply the 57.60 x 0.2 = 11.52
You subtract the $11.52 from $57.60 = $46.08
For one chair it’ll be $46.08. But they are asking for the price of 2 chairs.
Which you just have to get $46.08 x 2 = $92.16.

Final answer : 2 chairs = $92.16.
The answer is $46.08!
