Question

Whats the correct answer ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$80, $48

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price was x.

The price is reduced by 40%. The markdown is 40% of x, or 0.4x.

The actual dollar amount of the markdown is $32.

That means that 0.4x must equal $32.

We set up an equation and solve for x, the original price.

0.4x = 32

Divide both sides by 0.4

x = 32/0.4

x = 80

The original price is $80.

The markdown is $32.

$80 - $32 = $48

The marked down price is $48.

Answer: $80, $48
