Question

Edward wanted to buy a skateboard. The original price of the skateboard was $90. The store was having a sale where everything in the store was markdown 35%, or 35% off. What was the price of the skateboard after the markdown or discount?

Answer 1

$58.5

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

original price of Skate board= $90

Also there was a 35% discount on the original price.

the idea now is to find what 35% of $90 is.

=(35/100)*90

=0.35*90

=31.5

hence 35% of $90 is $31.5, the discounted price is $31.5

Step two:

The markdown price is the original price- the discounted price

90-31.5= $58.5

Therefore the price of the skateboard is $58.5
