Question

Find the sale price of the item. Round to two decimal places when
necessary. *
Original Price: $40.00; Markdown: 15%
$46
$34
$42
$32

Answer 1

First, determine what 15% of $40 is.

Convert 15% to a decimal: 0.15

Then multiply this decimal by $40: 0.15 x 40 = 6

So the discount is $6.

We subtract the discount from original price to get sale price.

40-6= 34

So the item will cost $34.
