A laptop was originally sold for $975. The laptop is now on sale for $828.75.
What is the percent markdown?

? %

Answer 1

Divide the marked down price by the original. So this is 828.75/975=.85. Subtract that from 1 since the .85 is how much of the original price the new price is to get .15. The price markdown is 15%
