33.3%, move the decimal to the left twice to make it easier. then multiply 29.99 by .333. take that and subtract it from 29.99. I got 20, I'm not sure if that's right though

Answer:

Retail Price of the item is $ 19.99 (approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original Price of an item = $ 29.99

Markdown Percentage = [tex]33\frac{1}{3}[/tex] % = [tex]\frac{33\times3+1}{3}=\frac{100}{3}[/tex] %

We need to find: Retail Price

We know that Retail price = Original Price - Markdown amount

Markdown amount = [tex]\frac{\frac{100}{3}}{100}\times29.99[/tex]

                               = [tex]\frac{100}{300}\times29.99[/tex]

                               = [tex]\frac{2999}{300}[/tex]

                               = $ 10 (approx.)

So, Retail price = 29.99 - 10 = $ 19.99

Therefore, Retail Price of the item is $ 19.99 (approx.)
