Question

A bracelet costs $39.59 including tax.It is marked down 25 percent.What is the final price of the bracelet after it is marked down?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, the final price of bracelet is:

$ 29.6925

Step-by-step explanation:

A bracelet costs $39.59 including tax.

It is marked down 25 percent.

Now the final price of the bracelet will be given as:

Final Price=Cost of bracelet including tax- Mark Down price.

Cost of bracelet is given= $ 39.59

Now, the mark down price of the bracelet is:

25% of price of bracelet.

=25% of 39.59

$=\dfrac{25}{100}\times 39.59\\\\=\ 9.8975$

Hence, the final price of bracelet is calculated as:

$39.59-9.8975\\\\=\ 29.6925$

Hence, the final price of bracelet is:

$ 29.6925

Answer 2

If it is marked down 25% and 25% equals 25/100 then you simply take 39.59 x 25/100

39.59 x 25/100 = 9.90

and then you subtract that from the original price 

39.59 - 9.90 = $29.69

after it is marked down, the price is $29.69
