Question

After prime planting season was over, a horticulturist sold lilac bushes for $15.00. If the original price was $39.00, what is the percentage mark down?

Answer 1

Find what percent of $39.00 the sale price was.
=> 15/39*100=38.4%
now subtract from 100% to get the mark down percentage.
100-38.4=61.6
Final answer:
Marked down 61.6%
