This part is right!
56 x 0.30 = 16.80
56.00 + 16.80 = 72.80
So the price tag on the coats reads $72.80.
Then she takes 15% off of 72.80.
A store owner buys coats for 56$ each. she adds 30% to the cost and sells the coat s at 15% off. find the selling price of each coat.
would i do 56 x 0.30 = 16.80
56.00 + 16.80 = 72.80
56.00 x 0.15 = 8.40
56.00 - 8.40 = 47.60
56 x 0.30 = 16.80
56.00 + 16.80 = 72.80
So the price tag on the coats reads $72.80.
Then she takes 15% off of 72.80.
1. Start with the cost price of a coat, which is $56.
2. Add 30% of the cost price to account for the store owner's markup. To do this, multiply $56 by 0.30: 56 x 0.30 = $16.80. This gives you the amount added to the cost price.
3. Add the amount from step 2 to the cost price: $56 + $16.80 = $72.80. This gives you the selling price before any discount is applied.
4. Apply the 15% discount to the selling price. To do this, multiply $56 by 0.15: 56 x 0.15 = $8.40. This gives you the amount of the discount.
5. Subtract the discount from the selling price: $72.80 - $8.40 = $64.40. This gives you the final selling price of each coat after the discount is applied.
Therefore, the selling price of each coat is $64.40.
