ORIGINAL cost per coat = $90

When 15 of the coats were purchased by a retailer, the cost was reduced so that the total cost of the coats was $1,200.
DISCOUNTED cost per coat = $1,200/15 = $80

By how much was the wholesale cost of each coat reduced?
Cost reduction (per coat) = $90 - $80 = $10

Answer: B
