66% of regular price = 0.66*49.99 = 32.9934 which rounds to 32.99

Answer 2

The dollar markdown is:

A. $32.99

Explanation:

It is given that:

At the end of the summer, Walgreens advertised blow-up pools for 66% off the regular price.

Jeff Jones saw a pool with a regular price of $49.99.

i.e. there is a markdown of 66% of the regular price.

i.e. 66% of $ 49.99

which is calculated as:

`66\%* 49.99\\\\=(66)/(100)* 49.99\\\\=(66* 49.99)/(100)\\\\=(3299.34)/(100)\\\\=\$\ 32.99`

Hence, the dollar markdown is:

A. $32.99.
