Answer:

A ) The Original price of music player before it was marked down by  [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]  is $512

B ) The price that store paid for player is $256

C ) The difference between discount price and price paid by store is $128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A ) The sale price of music player = $128

The music player is marked down by [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] of original price

Let The original price = $x

Now, According to question

[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] of original price = $128

i.e [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] × $x = $128

Or, x = 128 × 4

∴ x = $512

So, The Original price of music player before it was marked down by  [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]  is $512

B ) The music player is marked up by [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] before it was placed on sales floor .

Let The price that store paid for player = $y

Now, According to question

∵ The original price of player = $512

So, The price that store paid for player = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]  × original price of player

i.e y =  [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]  × $512

Or , y = $256

So,The price that store paid for player = $256

C ) Let The difference between discount price and price paid by store = $z

So, According to question

z = y - discount price

Or , z = $256 - $128

∴  z = $128

So, The difference = $128

Hence, A ) The Original price of music player before it was marked down by  [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]  is $512

B ) The price that store paid for player is $256

C ) The difference between discount price and price paid by store is $128
