Question

Use the original price and the markdown to find the retail price.

Original price: $40; Markdown: 22%

Answer 1

31.2

Explanation:

For now, let's say $40 = x

x - 22% = 78%

78% = 0.78

After the 22% markdown, 78% of 40 is left.

To find 78% of 40 = 40*0.78

40 * 0.78 = 31.2

Hope this helps :)
