18. The wholesale cost of a desk is $490. The original markup was 69% based on selling price. Find the final sale price after the following series of price changes: a markup of 30%, a markdown of 13%, and a markdown of 36%. (Round each intermediate selling price to the nearest cent)
A. $599.41
B. $1,144.14
C. $645.52
D. $616.07
I MARKED (A) AND GOT IT WRONG
Solution
Answer is option B
Cost is $490
As the markup is 69% on selling price ,then cost of goods sold is 31%(100%-69%)
Therefore Selling price : $490/.31
:$1580.64
Final sales Price :
Mark up of 30% price will be : $1580.64 + ($1580.64*.30)
: $2054.83
Now there is markdown of 13%,then the prices changes to : $2054.83 - ($2054.83*.13)
:$1787.70
Again when a markdown of 36% price changes to : $1787.70 - ($1787.70*.36)
:$1144.14
Therefore final selling price is $1144.14
