Question

During a sale, a store offered a 15% discount on a camera that originally sold for $600. After the sale, the discounted price of the camera was marked up by 15%. What was the price of the camera after the markup? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

1. Find 15% off $600

(15*600)/100= 90
600-90=510

Discounted price is $510

2. Mark up by 15%

To mark it up you divide the percentage by 100 and then add 1 since the price is going up. If it was being marked down it would be 0.15.

510x1.15 = $586.5
Rounded up to $587

Answer 2

15% of $600 = $90

$600 + $90 = $690
