Question

A clearance rack is marked as 60% off the regular price to be taken at the register. If a jacket on the clearance rack is marked $239.99, what will it ring up for at the register

Answer 1

$399.98

Explanation:

Given

Mark down percent = 60%

Mark down price = $239.99

Required

Original price of the rack

Let x be the original price of the product. The equation to get x is as expressed below;

60% of x = 239.99

0.6x = 239.99

x = 239.99/0.6

x = 399.98

Hence the rack will ring up for $399.98 at the register
