Question

Original price: $125 ; Markdown: 30% What is the retail price?

Answer 1

$87.50

Explanation:

SO 30 percent sale or markdown

So technically the original price is 100 percent but your just taking off 30 Percent so technically your just paying 70 percent for the object.

The original is 125 so you multiply that by 70 percent or 0.7 and you’d get $87.50.

OR you can do the original way

multiply 0.3 or 30 percent of 125

That would give you 37.5

So you subtract sicne it’s asking for retail price

125-37.5=87.50
