13. We can solve this question as a VIC (Variable in answer choices)

by plugging in values for x, y and z:

x percent mark-up (1st)

10

y percent discount (2nd)

20

z original price

100

If a $100 item is marked up 10% the price becomes $110. If that

If we plug x = 10, y = 20, z = 100 into the answer choices, only

answer choice (A) gives us 88:
