The marked price of a windbreaker was $128. After a 35% discount, the shopkeeper still makes a $32 profit.
- What is the cost price of the windbreaker?
- What is the profit in percentage?
(a)
Percentage of the price of the windbreaker after 35% discount
= 100% - 35%
= 65%
Price of the windbreaker at 35% discount
= 65% x 128
=
65100 x 128
= $83.20
Cost price of the windbreaker
= 83.20 - 32
= $51.20
(b)
Profit in percentage
=
3251.20 x 100%
= 62.5%
Answer(s): (a) $51.20; (b) 62.5%
