Question 1107815
Lester buys a TV for $200. At what price does he need to sell the TV for, if he wishes to offer a 20% discount to a customer but needs to earn 50% profit on the original cost? 
------
start:: 200
---
with 50% profit:: wants to get 300
----
Offer to customer:: 0.80x = 300
---
Let "x" be his offering price.
x = 300/0.8 = $375 
------
Cheers,
Stan H.
