Question

The original price of a DVD is $25. The price is marked down 17% each month.

What is the price after 2 months ?

Answer 1

$16.50

Explanation:

First we have to find 17% of 25 so our equation is:

25 x 0.17 = 4.25

Then we have to find how much we have to mark down from the original price so our equation is:

4.25 x 2 = 8.5

Then we have to take 8.5 off of the original price:

25 - 8.5 = 16.5

So the price is $16.50 after 2 months
