Given; Ahmed bought a DVD for $15. He sold it to Barbara, making a 20% loss.

We need to find that how much did Barbara pay for it.

Barbara later sold the DVD. she made 20% profit and how much did She pay for it.

a) Now, multiply by 80% because he lost 20%.

15 x 80%

15 x 0.8 = 12$ dollars

b) Now, multiply by 120% because she made 20% more than 100%- regular price.

12 x 120%

12 x 0.12 = 14.40$
