The seller of a watch marked up the price by 35%, and the new price is $675.00. What was the watch’s original price before the markup?

675 - 35\% =


(675 / 100 * 35) = 236.25


675 - 236.25 = 438.75

Since 35% of 675.00 is 236.25, you would subtract 236.25 from 675.00, which leaves you with 438.75 as your final answer. Hope this helps you Hannah91617 !
