Question

The price of a computer is marked down from $550 to $484 for a sale. The

following week, the computer is marked down again by the same percent as
during the week before. How much lower than the original price is the price after
the second markdown?
A $425.92
C
$124.08
B $132.00
D
$58.08

Answer 1

A) $425.92

Explanation:

The new price percentage with relation to the previous can be determined by dividing
`p = (484)/(550)`. Once we calculate p, we can multiply it by 484, which is equivalent to applying the same discount, thus
`(484)/(550)484=425.92`
