Question 385104
It has to add the 10% discount to the marked price. Then add 4% to make a profit.

I can explain ... They paid 100.0 for the software. So they first  have  to mark it up by 10% to be able have a discount of 10% and to make a profit of 4% it have 14% above the cost then then the 10% discount to make it appear to be on sale. Then the 4% added which is not removed so a profit to be made.

100 cost 
10% discount 
Then added 4% profit. 

$115.72
-$11.57discount roughly 10%
 puts it at   $104.14 for a 4% profit   amswer 14.14%  the .14% is a factor when it is all above the 110% mark 

This is rounded up and/or down, but explains how it can be conducted. I hope this helps..
