Question

A pair of jeans is normally priced at $56, but is currently marked down for with a 35% discount. What would replace the B in the proportion? A/B=P/100%

Answer 1

$36.4

Explanation:

Given

Cost of Jean = $56

Percent markdown = 35%

Discount = 35% of $56

Discount = 0.35 * 56

Discount = $19.6

New price = $56 - (35% of $56)

New price = $56 - 19.6

New price = $36.4

hence the price that will replace B is $36.4
