Question

batteries which normally sell at a dollar $1.89 a pack are on sale for $3.40 for two packs. approximately what percentage markdown does this represent per pack

Answer 1

So if $3.40 is 2 packs we divide it by 2
We get $1.70
1.4/1.89=0.74
0.74 x 100= 74%
1.4 is 74% of 1.89 so the difference between them would be 100-74=26%
Answer: 26%
