Question

a computer store buys a computer system at a cost of $370.80. the selling price was first at $618, but then the store advertised a 20% markdown on the system. answer parts a and b. the sale price is $\square$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the original selling price

The original selling price is $618.

Step2: Calculate the discount amount

A 20% markdown means we need to find 20% of $618. To calculate this, we use the formula: $Discount = 0.20\times Original\ Price$. So, $Discount = 0.20\times618 = 123.6$.

Step3: Calculate the sale price

The sale price is the original price minus the discount. So, $Sale\ Price = Original\ Price - Discount = 618 - 123.6 = 494.4$.

Answer:

494.4
