Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 25% of 16 = $=\frac{25}{100}*8=\frac{1}{4}*8=2$

Selling price after reduction = 16 - 2 = $14

B= 25% of 14

$=\frac{25}{100}*14=\frac{1}{4}*14=\frac{7}{2}$

= 3.5

Selling price = 14 - 3.5 = $10.5

C = 25% of 10.5

$=\frac{25}{100}*10.5=\frac{10.5}{4}$

= 2.625 = $ 2.63

Selling price = 10.5 - 2.63 = $ 7.87

A department store purchases logo shirts at a cost of $10 per shirt. They increase the price 100% and put them on the sales floor. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25%. After three monthly reductions, the final shirt from the shipment is sold. There is a 5% sales tax on the selling price. Explain the steps for finding the final cost to the customer for that shirt?

Answer:

The prices for 3 month reduction on a role will $12 to $9 to $6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The original cost price of the t-shirt is $16

If it does not sell for the 1st month, then 25% reduction will make the new price

(16 × 25)/100 = $4

new price will be 16 - 4 = $12

For the 2nd month, the price will be

(12 × 25)/100 = $3

New price = $12 - $3 = $9

for the third month, new price will be

(9 × 25)/100 = $2.25

New price for the third month is

9 - 2.25 = $6.75
