The bike store marks up the wholesale cost of all of the bikes they sell by 30%. If the bike is then discounted by 20%, how much will Andre pay (before tax)?

Respuesta :

4% in addition of the original price

Explanation

Let

x represents the original price fo the bike,The bike store marks up the wholesale cost of all of the bikes they sell by 30%

, Andre will pay 130% of the original price

[tex]10\text{ percent=}\frac{130}{100}=1.3[/tex]

the price will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{price}=x\cdot1.3=1.3x \\ \text{price}=1.3x \end{gathered}[/tex]

No, if the bike is discounted by 20%, it measn Andre will pay 80 percent of the price

[tex]\begin{gathered} price_{f\in al}=1.3x\cdot\frac{80}{100} \\ \text{price}=1.04\text{ x} \end{gathered}[/tex]

it means Andre will pay and increase of 4 percent (in addition) of the original price,

I hope this helps you
