Step 4
The selling price after the first markdown was found to be
SP1 = $88.20.
This value will be used to calculate the selling price after the next price change,
SPfinal.
Since the next change is a markup of 14%, the markup percentage will be added to 100%. This sum will then be multiplied by
SP1
as follows.
SPfinal = SP1(100% + markup%)
As before, the percentages must first be converted to decimals. The second price change is a markup of 14%, so we have
100% + markup% = 100% + 14% = 114%.
Converting 114% to a decimal gives .
Substitute this decimal value and
SP1 = $88.20
to find the final selling price (in $) of the birdcage, rounding the result to the nearest cent.
