Find the net price of 48 washing machines. Each machine costs $287.50 and a trade discount of 8% is allowed.
A
$13, 524.00
B
$264.00
C
$4, 791.67
D
$12, 696.00
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Another way of finding the net price is the complement method. The complement of your trade-discount rate is 100 percent minus the discount rate. This is sometimes called the net-price rate. You can multiply the list price by the complement to find the net price.

Detailed explanation-2: -Trade discounts are usually based on the list price (catalogue price). Sales are recorded based on net price. Net price = List price – Trade discount.

Detailed explanation-3: -Net price is what a customer pays. To calculate the net price, start with the list price and add any taxes and other government-mandated charges. Then subtract any discounts, rebates or negotiated prices.

Detailed explanation-4: -The discount is list price minus the sale price then divided by the list price and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
