A discount cloth store normally sells all merchandise at a discount of 10 percent to 25 percent off the suggested retail price. If, during a special sale, an additional 30 percent were to be deducted from the discount price, what would be the lowest possible price of an item costing $1000 before any discount? Select the correct option.
A) $180.00 B) $545.60 C) $750.00 D) $525.00 E) $1000.00
Original price : 1000 $   Max first discount = -25%   Thus : 1000âˆ—(1âˆ’25/100)=750   Second discount on the discounted price = -30%   Thus : 750âˆ—(1âˆ’30/100)=525   Answer $525.00
