Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = y - 2.........(1)
4x + y = 2......(2)
Substituting x in (1) in (2)
4(y - 2) + y = 2
4y - 8 + y = 2
5y = 2 + 8
5y = 10
y = 10/5
y = 2
Putting x in (1)
x = y - 2
x = 2 - 2
x = 0
2/5 X 100 = 200/5= 40 percent
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%
