Question

Find the percent of markdown on a skirt that is regularly priced at $50 and is on sale for $40.

Answer 1

You had something that costed 50 and now is costing 40.

So all you want to know is the amount X that is multiplied by 50 to give 40.


Put it in an equation:

50* x = 40

can you continue from here?

Answer 2

well 40 = 50(100% - markdown %)

Answer 3

since 40 = 50 - 50*(markdown %)

Answer 4

Yeah @ Diogo
