a store has clearance items that have been marked down by 40%. they are having a sale, advertising an additional 55% off clearance items. what percent of the original price do you end up paying?

Answer 1

A 40% reduction in the discounted price is equivalent to 60% of the original price. Clearance items will be discounted an additional 30% and clearance items will be 30% off 60% of the original price or percent an additional 18%.

Percent is basically a fraction with a denominator of 100. Use a percent sign (%) next to the number to indicate that the number is a percentage. For example, if you get 75 out of 100 questions correct on a test (75/100), you get a score of 75%.

Percent is a relative value that represents 100 of an arbitrary amount. A percentage (representing 1%) is 1 in 100. So 100% represents the whole and 200% represents double the amount.
