Question

Calculate the sale price on a pair of blue jeans if the original price is $45.50 and the markdown is 15%.

Answer 1

Answer:

38.68        

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the markdown

markdown = original price * markdown rate

               = 45.50 * 15%

               = 45.50 * .15

               = 6.825

Then we need to find the sale price  

sale price = original price- markdown

                = 45.50 - 6.825

                =38.675

Rounding to the nearest cent

               = 38.68

The sale price is 38.68
