Problema Solution

a game machine that costs $40 to make was on sale for an extra 25% off the original price, and it made a profit of no less than 20% of the cost. find the lowest original price

Answer provided by our tutors

Let original price=$x

 

20% Profit on $40 is 40+40*0.20= 40+8=48

So, x-x*(0.25)=48

x-0.25x=48

0.75x=48

x=48/(0.75)

x=64

So, Original price=$64
