A dealer bought a tape cassette recorder for $98, she wants to make a profit of at least 25% of the amount to be paid by the purchaser after allowing a discount of 8%, What should the marked price of the recorder be before the discount?
----------------------------
1.25*98 = $122.50
This is the price she needs to get for the recorder after discounting it 8%.
------
1.08*122.50 = $132.30
This is the marked price before the discount is applied.
