1 answer

To find the sale price of the shirt, we first need to calculate the amount of the markdown and then subtract that from the original price.

  1. Calculate the markdown amount: \[ \text{Markdown Amount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Markdown Percentage} \] \[ \text{Markdown Amount} = 25 \times 0.33 = 8.25 \]

  2. Subtract the markdown from the original price to find the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Markdown Amount} \] \[ \text{Sale Price} = 25 - 8.25 = 16.75 \]

Therefore, the sale price of the shirt is $16.75.
