Astore bought a sofa wholesale for $200 and marked it up 15%. when the sofa didn't sell, they reduced the price by 15%. explain and show why the current price is not $200.

The current price of sofa is $195.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of the sofa for the store = $200

Now, the store marked it up 15%.

So, marked price of sofa = $200 + 15% of $200

=200 + 30

=$230

Now, it is given that the sofa could not sell at this price. So, the store reduces its price by 15% now.

So, current price of sofa = $230 - 15% of $230

= 230 - 34.5

=$195.5

So, the current price of the sofa is $195.50.
