1] A softhearted antique dealer often paid more than she should and sold for less than she could. As she was figuring out her costs and profits one day her sister said, "You sold that dish for only a 5 percent profit. If you had bought it for 10 percent less than you did pay; and sold it at the same price you did charge for it, you would have made a $15 profit." How much did the antique dealer pay for the dish?
