You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = target selling price for a 30% profit relative to cost
\n" ); document.write( "x = 80 * 1.30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 104
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "y = target retail price, which allows for a 20% mark-down to the x target-price
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0.80y
\n" ); document.write( "104 = 0.80y
\n" ); document.write( "y = 104 / 0.80
\n" ); document.write( "y = 130
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "answer:
\n" ); document.write( "he should mark the retail price at $130
