Question

A mobile device that normally sells for $99.90 is marked down 10%. What's the discount price?

Answer 1

Given:

a.) A mobile device that normally sells for $99.90

b.) It was marked down by 10%.

To be able to determine the discount price, we will be using the following formula,

$\text{ Discount Price = Original Price - (Original Price x }\frac{\text{Mark Down Percentage}}{100}\text{)}$

We get,

$\text{ Discount Price = Original Price - (Original Price x }\frac{\text{Mark Down Percentage}}{100}\text{)}$$\text{ = \ 99.90 - (\ 99.90 x }\frac{10}{100})$$\text{ = \ 99.90 - (\ 99.90 x }0.10)$$\text{ = \ 99.90 - \ 9.99}$$\text{ Discount Price = \ 89.91}$

Therefore, the discount price is $89.91
