Question

During a sale, a store offered a 10% discount on a tablet computer that originally sold for $400. After the sale, the discounted price of the tablet computer was marked up by 10%. What was the price of the tablet computer after the markup? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

To find the price of the tablet computer after the markup, we will first calculate the discounted price from the original price and then apply the markup.

1. **Original Price**: $400

2. **Calculate the Discount**:
The discount rate is 10% of the original price.
\[
\text{Discount} = 10\% \times 400 = 0.10 \times 400 = 40
\]

3. **Calculate the Discounted Price**:
Subtract the discount from the original price.
\[
\text{Discounted Price} = 400 - 40 = 360
\]

4. **Calculate the Markup**:
The markup rate is also 10% of the discounted price.
\[
\text{Markup} = 10\% \times 360 = 0.10 \times 360 = 36
\]

5. **Calculate the Price After the Markup**:
Add the markup to the discounted price.
\[
\text{Price After Markup} = 360 + 36 = 396
\]

Thus, the price of the tablet computer after the markup is \(\boxed{396.00}\).
