Answer 1

Answer:

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.
