Answer: ‭$54.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The price the shoes are sold to the warehouse is:

= 24 * ( 1 + 15%)

= 24 * 1.15

= $27.60

The price the warehouse sells it is:

= 27.60 + 10

= $37.60

Price distributor sells is:

= 37.60 * 1.12

= $42.112

Fine shoes will then sell at 30% profit:

= 42.112 * 1.3

= $‭54.7456‬

= ‭$54.75
