Question

A computer store buys a computer system at a cost of $357.60. The selling price was first at $596,

but then the store advertised a 40% markdown on the system. Answer parts a and b.
a. Find the current sale price

Answer 1

To find the current sale price after a 40% markdown, subtract 40% of the selling price from the original selling price.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the current sale price after a 40% markdown, we need to subtract 40% of the selling price from the original selling price. The markdown amount can be calculated by multiplying the selling price by 0.40. In this case, the markdown is $596 x 0.40 = $238.40. Now, subtract the markdown from the original selling price to find the current sale price: $596 - $238.40 = $357.60.
