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 \(\boxed{396.00}\).
