Question

SARE

The department store sells logo t-shirts at an original
price of $12.50. Every month that a t-shirt doesn't sell, the
store reduces the price by 25%. Brianna calculated the
price after two reductions:
$12 50 - (512 50)(0.25) - ($12.50)(0.25). -
56.25
What is Brianna's error?

Answer 1

Brianna did not use the first sale price for the second markdown.

The first price discount makes the cost $9.38.

The second price reduction takes another $2.35 off.

The selling price of the shirt after two markdowns is $7.03.
