In order to clear out room for new merchandise, James decided to mark down some of the items for sale in his electronics store. He marked down DVD players by 36%, and he marked down stereo tuners by 22%. If DVD players cost $41.60 after the markdown and stereo tuners cost $69.42 after the markdown, which item’s price was reduced by more, and by how many dollars more was it reduced? Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.

a) Which item’s price was reduced by more, and by how many dollars more was it reduced?

The DVD player's price was reduced more by $3.82 than the stereo tuner's price.

b) Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.

Rounding $3.82 dollars to the nearest cents

$1 = 100 cents

$3.82 =

3.82 × 100 cents

= 382 cents

The DVD player's price was reduced by 382 cents more than the stereo tuner's price

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets day the original price of the DVD player was $100

We are told the price was marked down to 36%

36% of $100 = $36

$100 - $36 = $64

We are told the DVD cost $41.60 after the markdown.

Original cost of DVD =

$41.60/$64 × 100 = $65

Lets the original price of the Stereo player was $100

We are told the price was marked down to 22%

22% of $100 = $22

$100 - $22 = $78

We are told the DVD cost $69.42 after the markdown.

Original cost of Stereo =

$69.42/$78 × 100 = $89

DVD = $65 - $41.60 = $23.40 less 

Stereo = $89 - 69.42 = $19.58 less

Difference between the DVD and the Stereo is

$23.40 - $19.58 = $3.82

Therefore,the DVD player's price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner's price

Rounding $3.82 dollars to the nearest cents

$1 = 100 cents

$3.82 =

3.82 × 100 cents

= 382 cents

the answer is 28
