A computer store buys a computer system at a cost of $465.60. The selling price was first at $ 776, but then the store advertised a 30 % markdown on the system. Answer parts a and b. The price for club members is
a) To find the selling price after a 30% markdown, we first need to calculate the markdown amount:
Markdown amount = $776 * 30% = $776 * 0.30 = $232.80
Then, subtract the markdown amount from the original selling price to find the new selling price:
New selling price = $776 - $232.80 = $543.20
b) The price for club members is the selling price after the 30% markdown, which is $543.20.
