Possible Answers:
$82.91
$290.18
$329.00
$767.67
$518.18
Step-by-step explanation:
To reconstruct an original price from a sale price, use:
Original Price – Original Price * Mark-down-percent = Sale Price, or
Original Price * (1 - Mark-down-percent) = Sale Price
To do a double mark-down problem, we must do this twice. For the 10%:
Original Sale Price * (1 – 10%) = $207.27
Original Sale Price = $207.27/0.9 = $230.30.
For the pre-all-discount price,
Original Price * (1 – 30%) = $230.30
Original Price = $230.30/0.7 = $329.00.
