A man bought a bag for $30 and decided to sell it for 15% off in his store. However, he wanted to make 20% of this sale, what price should h

The way I interpreted it, the man wants to make a 20% profit on the bag after the 15 discount.

In this case, you would first find what 20% profit on $30 is, and then find what the total would be before the 15% discount:

So:

20% * $30 + $30

= 1.2 * 30

= 36

So the man would need to sell the bag for a final price of $36, after the discount.

Therefore, we now need to find the price of the bag before the 15% discount, which we can call x:

x - 0.15x = 36

0.85 x = 36

x =42.35

So he needs to sell it for $42.35 before the discount, or $36 after the discount.

Thanks, kitty<3....I see now what is meant....I couldn't make heads or tails of it...!!!
