An Anthropologie quilt was advertised for 35% off the regular price. The quilt regularly sells for $210. What's the amount of markdown?

Respuesta :

the original price is $210, and it is marked down by 35%. this can be done quite easily on a piece of paper, or in you head. Just find 10% of 210 by moving the decimal point one digit to the left. So 10% is $21. Then, just multiply 21 by 3.5. 

3.5 x 21 = $73.5

Answer:

The correct answer is 136.50

Step-by-step explanation:

210.00 x 0.35 (convert 35% to decimal form)

= 73.5 (don't stop there, it's only half-way done)

Selling price - Mark down value =

210.00 - 73.5 = 136.50
