Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a product is marked at $500 and sold at a 30% discount, what is the profit or loss if the cost price is $350?
  • Step 1: Identify the marked price of the product, which is $500.
  • Step 2: Calculate the discount amount by finding 30% of the marked price. This is done by multiplying $500 by 0.30.
  • Step 3: Calculate the discount amount: 30% of $500 = $500 * 0.30 = $150.
  • Step 4: Subtract the discount amount from the marked price to find the selling price. Selling Price = $500 - $150.
  • Step 5: Calculate the selling price: $500 - $150 = $350.
  • Step 6: Identify the cost price of the product, which is $350.
  • Step 7: Compare the selling price ($350) with the cost price ($350).
  • Step 8: Since the selling price is equal to the cost price, there is no profit or loss.
