Not sure what the "regular" price is supposed to be here.
If it just includes the 30% markup, then it is 56 * 1.30
If it also includes the 15% discount, then it is 56 * 1.30 * (1 - 0.15)
a store owner buys a coats for $56 each. She adds 30% to the cost and sells the coats at 15% off. Find what the regular price is?

oh lol sorry it is the selling price not the regular price my bad!
i think I figured it out would it be
0.30*56=16.8
16.8*0.15=2.52 which is the discount.
16.8-2.52=$14.28
so the coat costs $14.28 dollars?
0.30*56=16.8
16.8*0.15=2.52 which is the discount.
16.8-2.52=$14.28
so the coat costs $14.28 dollars?
is that right?
nope. Did you do a sanity check? Can you not see how unreasonable that selling price is? Take a look at my calculations, and you should see where you went wrong.
ok I got it lol!!
0.30*56=16.8
56+16.8=72.8
0.15*72.8=10.92
72.8-10.92=61.88
so the coats sell for $61.88
I think thats it!! these kinda questions usually don't stump me I just forgot one step all together!! thanks this was really helpful
