Question

A Toy that was originally $35 is now marked down to $28. what percentage was the toy marked down?

Answer 1

the percentage was marked down 252% 

Answer 2

20%

Explanation:

The percentage markdown is the ratio of the markdown amount to the original amount expressed as a percentage. The mark down amount is the difference between the original amount and the new price after the markdown.

Markdown amount = $35 - $28

= $7

Markdown percentage = $7/$35 * 100%

= 20%
