Question

A toy that was originally $35 is now marked down to $28. What percentage was the toy marked down to

Answer 1

The marked down percentage is 20% .

Explanation:

Given as :

The original price of toy = x = $35

The marked down price of toy = y = $28

Let The marked down percentage = z%

Now, According to question

The marked down percentage =
`(\textrm original price - marked down price)/(original price)` × 100

Or, z =
`(35 - 28)/(35)` × 100

Or, z =
`(7)/(35)` × 100

Or, z =
`(7* 100)/(35)`

Or, z = 20

So,The marked down percentage = z = 20%

Hence,The marked down percentage is 20% . Answer
