Question

Answer 1

The sale price is $498,30

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

The selling (list) price on a dishwasher is $906.

The store advertises a 45% markdown on that price.

The markdown is calculated as follows:

45% of $906 = 45 * 906 / 100 = $407.70

The sale price (retail) is calculated as the selling price minus the markdown.

Thus, the sale price is:

$906 - $407.70 = $498,30

The sale price is $498,30
