Question

Luna wants to sell a Tshirt

In her shop making a profit of
25%
if the cost of the Tshirt
is 100$, in the same time
the customer will have a discut
of 30%, what shall she put
on a Sale Tag

Answer 1

Price: $178.57

30% off: -$53.57

Sale Price: $125.00

Explanation:

She buys each shirt for $100.

She wants to make a profit of 25%.

25% of $100 = 0.25 × $100 = $125

She must sell the shirt at $125.

She wants to mark the shirt at a higher price than $125, so that after the 30% discount, she will still sell it for $125.

Call the higher price x.

x - 30% of x = 125

x - 0.3x = 125

0.7x = 125

x = 125/0.7

x = 178.57

The sale tag can read:

Price: $178.57

30% off: -$53.57

Sale Price: $125.00
