Question

Part 1
A ​$260 suit is marked down by 30​%. Find the sale price.

Answer 1

To find the sale price of the suit after a 30% markdown, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the amount of the markdown: \[ \text{Markdown} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Markdown Percentage} = 260 \times 0.30 = 78 \]

2. Subtract the markdown from the original price to find the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Markdown} = 260 - 78 = 182 \]

Therefore, the sale price of the suit is $182.
