Answer 1

The current sales price of the computer system after a 40% markdown from the initial selling price of $596 is $357.60. The current sales price is $357.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to calculate the current sales price of a computer system after a 40% markdown from its initial selling price of $596. The store bought the system at a cost of $357.60. To find the current sales price, we must apply the 40% discount to the initial sales price.

To calculate the discount, we multiply the initial price by 40%:
$596 × 0.40 = $238.40.

Next, subtract the discount from the initial selling price to find the current sales price:
$596 - $238.40 = $357.60.

Therefore, the current sales price after the 40% markdown is $357.60.
