This problem is based on a sample problem from a professional accounting exam:

A certain retailer increases wholesale prices by 46%. If this retailer offers a 15% discount off the ticket price, what percent profit will the retailer realize?

The realized profit is the amount of money remaining after paying off the wholesale prices. In this case, it should be expressed as a percent of the wholesale price.

The following questions are to help you better understand the final solution. Let's assume the wholesale price for our item is $500.

(1) What is the ticket price (the price including the mark-up)?
$

(2) How much will you save (what is the discount removed from the ticket price)?
$

(3) How much do you have to pay for the item?
$

(4) How much profit does the retailer make (in $)?
$

(5) What is the percent profit?
%
Note: Enter as a percent, not as a decimal value.
