Kitchen chairs are purchased wholesale for $36 each by a discount furniture store. Then, the store marks up the chairs by 60 percent. The store has a special sale where all items are marked down by 20 percent. How much would two chairs cost during the sale?

Answer 1

Answer:

starts at 36....marks up by 60%

36 + 0.60(36) = 36 + 21.60 = 57.60

57.60 - 0.20(57.60) = 57.60 - 11.52 = 46.08

46.08 * 2 = 92.16

Answer 2

I believe this is the answer:

92.16 .

Step-by-step explanation:

It starts at 36 and marks up by 60% .

They mark it down by 20% .

57.60 - 0.20(57.60) = 57.60 - 11.52 = 46.08 . 46.08 * 2 = 92.16.
