The list price of a computer is $2400. During a sale, the list price is reduced by 1/3. When the sale is over, the sales price is increased by 1/4. What is the selling price after the sale is over?
Answered by R_scott
2400 * 2/3 * 5/4 = ?

EASY!

2400 divided by 3 is 800... 2400 divided by 4 is 600...
800+600=1400

2/3 is from a 1/3 reduction in price ... 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

5/4 is from a 1/4 increase in price ... 1 + 1/4 = 5/4
