Question

Part 1
During a​ sale, a dress is marked down from a selling price of ​$80 to a sale price of ​$68. What is the percent​ markdown?

Answer 1

To find the percent markdown, you can use the following formula:

Percent markdown = (Original price - Sale price) / Original price * 100%

In this case, the original price is $80 and the sale price is $68.

Percent markdown = (80 - 68) / 80 * 100%
Percent markdown = 12 / 80 * 100%
Percent markdown = 0.15 * 100%
Percent markdown = 15%

Therefore, the percent markdown is 15%.
