Question

Original price: $340.00
markdown 50%.

Answer 1

50/100(50%) x 340 = $170

If there is a 50% markdown, you would need to take 50%(1/2) away from the original price.

Answer 2

$170

Explanation:

Given the following question:

50% of 340

To find the answer we must first find 50% of 340 by using the formula to calculate percentages, and then subtract that answer from the original price to have our markdown.


`(p* n)/(100)`

`(50*340)/(100)`

`50*340=17000`

`17000/100=170`

`=170`

Now subtract from original price:

`340`

`340-170=170`

`=170`

The new price after a 50% markdown is "$170."

Hope this helps.
