Respuesta :

Answer:

Starting price is $50.70.

Next day the price is $50.70 + $17.75 = $68.45

This price then changed by: [tex]-3\frac{3}{4}\%=-3.75\%[/tex].

So in order to calculate that we do: [tex]68.45 - (3.75/100*68.45)=65.883125 =\$65.88[/tex]

Therefore final price is $65.88.

Yes, this is reasonable.
