39.95 + 9.80 = 49.75
70.23 - 49.75 = 20.48
20.48 / 0.32 = 64
The truck was driven 64 miles.
Answer:
a) 10% off or $20 off
b) 25% off or $124.99 off
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the markdown on the shredder we simply need to divide the sale price by the original price. Once we have that we subtract that decimal from 1 and multiply by 100 to get the markdown percentage. We can also subtract the original price from the sales price to get the markdown dollar value.
179.99 / 199.99 = 0.899
(1 - 0.899) * 100 = 10%
199.99 - 179.99 = $20
Now, for the printer we are provided the markdown perentage so to find the markdown dollar value we need to divide the perentage by 100 to turn it into a decimal and multiply that decimal by the regular price of the printer. We can also subtract the markdown dollar value from the original price to get the sale price...
25% / 100 = 0.25
0.25 * 499.99 = 124.99
499.99 - 124.99 = $375
