Hi, guys, could you please help me to map out the picture for the question below: A store bought a product with a recommended retail price of $150. The store sold the product at a 40% discount from the recommended retail price and made a 150% profit on its wholesale cost. What was the store’s profit as a percentage of the recommended retail price ? A. 10% B. 24% C. 36% D. 40% E. 60% So my question says, that store A was selling to store B some product at 150$ price each, which original price was 90$? And since cost of the product didn’t change, percentage of profit changed from 90/56*100 to 150/56*100, am I wrong here?
Store B(according to you) is the end consumer to whom the store is selling the product.
The retail price was 150$ and store A sold at a discount of 40% on the retail price of 150$ which is = 90$.
Now the cost price for store A was something different which we need to calculate in order to determine the profit made by store A
Profit % on its wholesale cost is given so (SP-WC)/WC =1.5
WC(wholesale cost) = 36
So profit made by store A is (SP-WC) = (90-36)=54
so profit as a % of the retail price =(54/150)*100
