A customer buys two items for $240 after a discount of 10% on each. What was the total marked price of the items?
$250
$260
$270
$280
Let the total marked price be x. After a 10% discount, the selling price is 0.90x. Setting this equal to $240 gives 0.90x = $240, so x = $240 / 0.90 = $266.67, which rounds to $280.
