During a sale, a store offered a 40% discount on a particular camera that was originally priced at $450. After the sale, the discounted price of the camera was increased by 40%. What was the price of the camera after this increase?

(.6*450)(1.4)= 378

450 * 0.6 = 270

270 * 1.4 = ?

$450

To find the price of the camera after the increase, we need to first calculate the discounted price during the sale and then apply the 40% increase.

Step 1: Calculate the discounted price during the sale
To find the discounted price, you need to subtract the 40% discount from the original price of $450.

Discounted Price = Original Price - (Discount Percentage * Original Price)
Discounted Price = $450 - (0.40 * $450)
Discounted Price = $450 - $180
Discounted Price = $270

So, the discounted price during the sale is $270.

Step 2: Apply the 40% increase to the discounted price
To find the price after the increase, you need to add 40% of the discounted price to the discounted price.

Price After Increase = Discounted Price + (Increase Percentage * Discounted Price)
Price After Increase = $270 + (0.40 * $270)
Price After Increase = $270 + $108
Price After Increase = $378

Therefore, the price of the camera after the 40% increase is $378.
