Price at retail appliance store = 20% above the cost = 1.2*200=$240
Discount on it = 10% of $240 = $24
The amount to be paid = $(240-24) = $216

We are given that a retail appliance store priced a video recorder at 20 percent above the wholesale cost of $200, or 1.2 x 200 = $240.

If an employee purchased the item at a 10 percent discount, he paid 0.9 x 240 = $216.

Answer: B

A retail appliance store priced a video recorder at 20 percent above the wholesale cost of $200
20% of $200 = $40
So, the retail price = $200 + $40 = $240

If a store employee applied the 10 percent employee discount to the retail price to buy the recorder, how much did the employee pay for the recorder?
10% of $240 = $24
So, the discounted price = $240 - $24 = $216

Answer: B
