Let the price of clothing be x.

It is given the markdown price is 15% which in decimal is .15.

Markdowns is the difference between the original retail price and the actual selling price.

Markdown price of clothing is .15x

We need to find retail price .

Retail price is the price of a good or product when it is sold to the end user for consumption.

Retail price= x-.15x

Retail price= 1x-.15x

Retail price =.85x

Option D shows the right answer for the retail price of the clothing.
