Answer:

19.26%

Explanation:

Given the original selling price of DVD player as ​$179.30 and the new sale price to be ​$144.77, the the first step in finding the percent​ markdown is to take the difference between the original selling price and the sale price to give $179.30 - $144.77 = $34.53

Percent markdown = original selling price- new sale price/original selling price × 100%

Percent markdown = $34.53/$179.30 × 100%

% markdown = 19.26%
