Question

tour local hardware store, you have three discounts that you can use i. series. one is a 55% discount, the second is a 35% discount, and the last is a 15% discount. if you use the discounts in the series , what will be the total percent markdown, rounded to the nearest whole percent?

Answer 1

To calculate the total percent markdown when using the three discounts in series, we can multiply the discounts and subtract the result from 100%.

Starting with the largest discount of 55%, we can multiply the discounts in series as follows:

55% x 35% x 15% = 2.29625%

So, the total percent markdown when using the discounts in series would be approximately 2.3%, rounded to the nearest whole percent.

Therefore, using the discounts in series would result in a total markdown of about 2%.
