The sale price is

Answer 1

`Sales\ Price = \$57.12`

Explanation:

Given

`Price = \$84.00`

`Markdown = 32\%`

Required

Determine the sales price

First, we calculate the markdown price.

This is calculated by multiplying the original price the markdown percentage

`Markdown\ Price = \$84.00 * 32\%`

Convert % to decimal

`Markdown\ Price = \$84.00 * 0.32`

`Markdown Price = \$26.88`

The sales price is then calculated as:

`Sales\ Price = \$84.00 - \$26.88`

`Sales\ Price = \$57.12`

Hence, the sales price after markdown is $57.12
