Answer 2

Markdown on the pants on sale is 25%.

Explanation:

Shirts 'n Pants has a clearance on overstocked pants.

Pants that usually sell for $44 are on sale for $33.

We have to calculate the markdown.

Formula for markdown =
`\frac{\text{Original price - markdown price}}{\text{Original price}}`×100

Markdown =
`((44-33))/(44)`×100 =
`(1100)/(44)`

=
`(100)/(4)`

= 25%

Therefore, markdown on the pants on sale is 25%.
