Question 56 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

In a sale, the price of a computer is reduced by $124. The sale price is $1,394. Find the marked price (original price) and the rate of the discount. Round the discount rate to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Answer
A
$1,270; 8.9%
B
$1,270; 9.79%
C
$1,518; 8.9%
D
$1,518; 8.2%

Explanation

Add the $124 discount back to the $1,394 sale price to find the marked price: $1,394 + $124 = $1,518. The discount rate is $124 ÷ $1,518 × 100 ≈ 8.17%, which rounds to 8.2%. The correct choice is “$1,518; 8.2%.”
