You can put this solution on YOUR website! a. (125 x 0.6) = clearance sale price
b. 42 + (42 x 0.5) = inventory sale
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c. 42 + (42 x 0.5) = total cost (TC)
1. (120 x 125) - (120 x TC) = profit at regular price
2. 60 x (125 x 0.6) - 60 x TC = profit at 40% discount
add c 1 and c 2 to get your total profit
