Answer 1

First Bicycle: MArked down by 50%

Multiply the original price (380) by the markdown in decimal form ( divided by 100)

380 x (50/100) = 380 x 0.5 = 190

Subtract the markdown amount to the original price

380-190 = $190

First bicycle: $190

Second Bicycle: Marked down by 20% with an additional 20% off

First, the mark down:

380 x (20/100) = 76

380-76 = 304

Additional 20%off

304 x (20/100) = 60.8

304-60.8 = $243.2

Second bicycle : $243.2
