Question

An item is $4,200. What is the sales if it is marked down 35%?

Answer 1

The first step is to find the discount applied (use percentage as decimal). Then, susbtract this to the original price

`\begin{gathered} 4,200\cdot0.35=1,470 \\ 4,200-1,470=2730 \end{gathered}`

The sales is $2,730
