Try making a grid like this. Apologies for the terrible drawing and handwriting. It represents all possible results of rolling two dice and summing their values. The blue column and yellow row represent the values of each die, and the green numbers reptesent their sums.
First, you can see that there are 36 possible values. Second, it's easy to see how many results are greater than 9, since they're all in one corner. And last, you can see just how many are even and how many are odd. Remember to reduce your fractions in the end.

Simple, finding markdown, use these two formulas.
Markdown=Original-New
and
Percent Markdown= Markdown Amount/Original*100
So,
Markdown=612-450
M=162
Markdown%= 162/612*100
M%=0.2647*100
M%=26.5 (rounded)
Thus, there was a 26.5% decrease.
1 43/53 is the answer in a mixed fraction.
It shouldn't be too tough to find one of those, seeing that there are
an infinite number of them.
To create one, take any integer, positive or negative, and multiply it by itself.
