Zorluk: OrtaPercentage Change, Markups, and Discounts

A furniture showroom acquires a dining table for a wholesale cost of $550.00\$550.00. The showroom applies an 80%80\% markup to set the original retail price. During a holiday clearance event, the table is discounted by 30%30\% from its retail price. What is the final sale price of the dining table?

Cevap:The final sale price of the dining table is $【693】\$【693】.

Cevap

693
The correct final sale price is found by first calculating the retail price and then applying the discount to that new price. An 80%80\% markup on the $550.00\$550.00 wholesale cost adds $440.00\$440.00, making the retail price $990.00\$990.00. A 30%30\% discount on the $990.00\$990.00 retail price is $297.00\$297.00. Subtracting this discount from the retail price gives the final sale price of $693.00\$693.00.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the markup amount.
$550.00×0.80=$440.00\$550.00 \times 0.80 = \$440.00
To determine how much value is added to the wholesale cost to set the retail price.
2
Calculate the original retail price.
$550.00+$440.00=$990.00\$550.00 + \$440.00 = \$990.00
To establish the base price before any sale discounts are applied.
3
Calculate the discount amount.
$990.00×0.30=$297.00\$990.00 \times 0.30 = \$297.00
To find the amount subtracted from the retail price during the clearance event.
4
Calculate the final sale price.
$990.00−$297.00=$693.00\$990.00 - \$297.00 = \$693.00
To find the ultimate cost to the consumer after all price adjustments.
