11. Assume you see the ad shown below in a local newspaper.

BUY NOW! SAVE $75

Scanner/Copier/Fax

Easy to Install on Computer

SALE PRICE $478

Computers Are Us Company
Techtown, USA


A.What was the regular price of the scanner/copier/fax?

A=553$


B.What was the percent markdown?
75 / 553 = 13.5623869801%

C.If the regular price represents a 30 percent markup on the cost to the dealer, what was the total cost to the dealer? :oops: I dont know how to do this one?????? Any help
:oops: :oops:
 
Rule #1, Nikki. Name stuff!

D = Dealer Cost
C = Regular Retail Price
C = D + 0.30D = 1.30D = A
S = Sale Price
S = A - $75
 
:oops: Ok i must be dumb lol because i have no idea what that mean what you posted....Im in an online class with no book and haven't taken this sort of math in years so I am not up to date with all the formulas and its kind of teach your self thing. I mean we have a professor but I dont know its hard to explain...
 
You are in standard denial. It's time to quit it.

You ARE up on equations and things. You do it all the time in your head. Just figure out how to get them on paper.

You ARE up on writing definitions. Do you have and kids? They have names, don't they?

I want you to think really hard about what I posted before. Abandon the idea that you can't get it and that you have been away too long. It IS within your grasp. Already, in your first post, you have shown enough to demonstrate your ability.
 
Wait i think i got it lol is this right :idea:


553*.3=165.9
553-165.9= 387.10
