A computer store bought a program at a cost of ​$40 and sold it at a selling price of ​$32.5. Find the percent markdown (Rounded to a whole number) .

Answer :

Answer:

answer is 18.76 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

CP= $40

SP= $32.5

Markdown percent=?

now,

markdown %= CP-Sp/CP×100%

=7.5/40×100%

=750/40

=18.75%

The amount to be reduced is:  $40 -  $32.5 =  $7.5

The percentage decrease is: (7.5 : 40) * 100 = 18.25%
