Question

Solve the problem.

The regular selling price of an item is $289. For a special year-end sale the price is at a markdown of 20%. Find the discount sale price.

$240.83

$346.80

$231.20

$57.80

Answer 1

$231.20.

Explanation:

Let's find the answer by using the following formula:

discount sale price=(selling price)-((selling price)*(markdown percentage)) so we have:

discount sale price=289-(289*20%) which is:

discount sale price=289-(289*0.2) so:

discount sale price=231.20

In conclusion, the discount sale price is $231.20.
