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...
To find the answer, you divide 5.50 by 5 to get the price of one slice of pizza. We get that one slice is $1.10. 2 slices would be $2.20. 10 slices would be $11. Half a slice would be $0.55. Hope this helps!
