What is 4,200 with 35% markdown explained in full detail💜

Answer 1

First you must determine what 35% of 4200 is. You must move the decimal and multiply .35 by 4200.

The answer you get is 1470.

Now you must take that 35% and subtract it from the original 4200 to find the new amount after the markdown..

4200 - 1470 = 2730.

Another option would be to do it in one step...

If you are taking 35% off of 4200, then the new amount will be 65% of 4200 (since 35% plus 65% = 100%). So you could multiply .65 by 4200. You will still get 2730.
