Question

A department store is selling a watch with an initial price of 340. if the price of the watch is marked down by 35%, what is the sale price

Answer 1

$221

Explanation:

First we need to find what is 35% of 340. To do this, we multiply 340 by 0.35. This gives us 119. Because this is the amount they are taking off, we need to subtract it from the initial price. 340-119=221. Therefore the price after being marked down is $221 :)
