Answer:
50/100(50%) x 340 = $170
If there is a 50% markdown, you would need to take 50%(1/2) away from the original price.
Answer:
$170
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following question:
50% of 340
To find the answer we must first find 50% of 340 by using the formula to calculate percentages, and then subtract that answer from the original price to have our markdown.
[tex]\frac{p\times n}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{50\times340}{100}[/tex]
[tex]50\times340=17000[/tex]
[tex]17000\div100=170[/tex]
[tex]=170[/tex]
Now subtract from original price:
[tex]340[/tex]
[tex]340-170=170[/tex]
[tex]=170[/tex]
The new price after a 50% markdown is "$170."
Hope this helps.
