Question

Louis wants to buy skis that have a regular price of $329. They have been marked down 25% off the regular price. Louis calculates the new total price including 8.5% tax. How much money will Louis save on the total cost because of the markdown?

Answer 1

Regular price with tax:

356.97

Marked down price:

267.72

356.97-267.72
he will save $89.25
