The hat has been marked down by 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find the difference between our original price and our down price:

$36.00 − $27.00 = $9.00

The hat has been marked down by $9

Now, we're essentially trying to find out what percentage of our original price this markdown is. This means dividing our markdown by our original price and multiplying by
100%.
