An exercise machine with an original selling price of $ 790 is marked down by 9 %. What is the sale price of the exercise​ machine?

Answer 1

To calculate the sale price of the exercise machine after a 9% markdown, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the amount of the markdown:

   \[ \text{Markdown} = \text{Original Price} \times \frac{\text{Markdown Percentage}}{100} \] \[ \text{Markdown} = 790 \times \frac{9}{100} = 790 \times 0.09 = 71.10 \]

2. Subtract the markdown from the original price:

   \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Markdown} \] \[ \text{Sale Price} = 790 - 71.10 = 718.90 \]

Therefore, the sale price of the exercise machine is $718.90.
