Yogurt cups have a regular selling price of $0.55 each. The grocery store is

having a sale and all yogurt cups are 3 for $1. What is the markdown on a
single cup if you take advantage of the sale?

Final answer:

The markdown on a single yogurt cup during the sale is $0.22, calculated by the difference between the regular price and the sale price.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of one yogurt cup is $0.55. During the sale, each yogurt cup effectively costs 3 for $1, which means each cup would be
$rac{1}{3}$ ately $0.33 if you buy in multiples of three. To calculate the markdown on a single cup, subtract the sale price from the regular price: $0.55 - $0.33 = $0.22. Therefore, there is a $0.22 markdown on each yogurt cup when purchasing three for $1.
