PooyaH Full Member 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Jul 18, 2008 #2 Let x be the actual price of the TV without the discount and profit: X - .1X + .08X = $3125 .98X = $3125 X = $3188 So the price of TV without the discount and just the profit would be: $3188 x 1.08 = $3443 Upvote 0 Downvote

F far123 Full Member 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Jul 18, 2008 #6 this is how they solve it, which it does not make any sense to me: if the cost price and marked price are x and y: 1080=1-08x ----->x=1000 1080=0.9y------->x=1200 y-x=200profit---->200x100/1000=20% Upvote 0 Downvote
