Question

A sweater that normally costs $32.00 is on sale for $24.00. What is the percent

markdown on the sweater?

Answer 1

25 %

Explanation:

Percentage is given by :

`\%=\frac{\text{original value-new value}}{\text{origial value}}* 100`

Original cost of sweater is $32 and sale cost is $24. So,

`\%=(32-24)/(32)* 100\\\\=25\%`

Hence, 25 % is the markdown on the sweater.
