Question

Original price 325.50 markdown 15%

Answer 1

To find the sale price after a markdown, multiply the original price by the decimal form of the markdown percentage and deduct it from the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sale price after a markdown, you need to multiply the original price by the decimal form of the markdown percentage. In this case, the original price is $325.50 and the markdown is 15%, so the decimal form of the markdown is 0.15. Multiplying $325.50 by 0.15 gives you a markdown amount of $48.825. To find the sale price, subtract the markdown amount from the original price: $325.50 - $48.825 = $276.675.

Answer 2

Multiply 325.50 by 0.85
You want 85% of the original. (15% off)
