Question

Anne bought a pair of jeans that originally cost $33, but are currently marked down 25%. What will is the new price of the jeans after the markdown? Pls I need to show work

Answer 1

The jeans are now $24.75.

Explanation:

Two ways to do this. Either you multiply 33 by 0.25 and get 8.25 which is 25% percent of the price and then you just subtract $8.25 from $33 and end up with $24.75, OR you can multiple 33 by 0.75 and you end up with $24.75.
