Here is one way of doing it.
The original price of the item is $89.
$89 is 100% of the original price.
You want to take off 32%.
100% - 32% = 67%
That means you want to find out how much 68% of $89 is.
68% of $89 =
= 0.68 * 89
= 60.52
Answer: $60.52

You asked for a 33% markdown, but the pic shows 32%, so I did 32%.
