If an item was originally priced at 45 dollars but is now on sale for 27 dollars what percent of the original price is on sale?
First you need to find the amount of the markdown: 45-27 = 18. Then calculate "the markdown over the original price", or the markdown rate: ($18) is (some percent) of ($45), so: 18 = (x)(45) and the relative markdown over the original price is: x = 18 ÷ 45 = 0.4 Since the "x" stands for a %, remember to convert this decimal to percentage form. Answer is 40% ChaCha
