Question

A computer store buys a computer system at a cost of ​$370.80. The selling price was first at $618​, but then the store advertised a 20% markdown on the system.

Find the current sale price.

Answer 1

$494.40

Explanation:

The computer was sold to the computer store for $370.80

"The price they was selling at was $618

But is now at a 20% markdown"

First you find out how much the price went down

618 x 20%

20% --> .20

618 x .2 = 123.6

Then you subtract that to the number it was originally at

618 - 123.6 = 494.4

Answer 2

$494.40

Explanation:

20% of $618 is $123.6

$618 - $123.60 = $494.40
