## anonymous one year ago If a manufacturer produces a computer printer for $130, what would the maintained markup percentage be if the original selling price was$210 and it is now marked down 20 percent? 21.0% 22.6% 15.69% 14.21% If a manufacturer offers a trade discount of 20 percent and 10 percent to a distributor for a purchase of $5,000, what is the net price the distributor will pay?$2,900 $3,708$3,500 $3,600 • This Question is Closed 1. anonymous @Shalante 2. anonymous On problem one, what number is being referred to when they say, "the maintained markup percentage"? 3. anonymous we have to fine the maintained markup percentage 4. anonymous find* 5. Adi3 what do you think? 6. Adi3 @kittymeow101 7. anonymous im not really sure about these 8. Adi3 ok. 9. Adi3 i am not that good at these stuff. but i will give my best. 10. anonymous Well, the way I read it, I would think that we are subtracting 20% from the original sales amount. Then we would need to find the resulting mark up, but these numbers do not seem to match. 11. anonymous its very confusing I know ;-; 12. anonymous Are you sure there is no mistakes with the information provided? 13. anonymous no thats exactly how its been written 14. Adi3 i dont get anything 15. anonymous I honestly dont know what to do -.- 16. anonymous Ya, the first one has me stumped. If the second one is stating that a total of 30% discount is given, how would you determine the final price? 17. anonymous would it be 3708? 18. anonymous How did you come up with that number? 19. anonymous well i tried subtracting 5000 by 30% and i got 4999.7 20. anonymous You need to subtract 30% from 100% and then multiply the 70% by the$5000

21. anonymous

ooooh i get it now and i got 3500

22. anonymous

yes

23. anonymous

$210 being discounted by 20% is$210 x 0.80=$168 So that is what the company wants to sell It cost$130 to make. $\frac{ 168-130 }{ 168 } \times 100%$

24. anonymous

Of course company wants to sell higher than the cost to make it.

25. anonymous

I would think that the 168-130 should be divided by 130 as it is the cost basis.

For the second one there is a 20% discount when selling so 5000 x (100%-20%) $5000 x (80%)$5000 x (0.80)=$4000 The price is being discounted again by 10% to a distributor so$4000 x (100%-10%) $4000 x (90%)$4000 x (0.90)=\$3600

30. anonymous

Yep I got 22.6 too.

31. anonymous

so is the second one 3500 or 3600?

32. anonymous

3600, good job
