Question 20 • FowU - Financial Math - B

A jacket costs $72.90 before it is marked down 42%. What is its new price, to the nearest cent?

Answer
A
$30.62
B
$42.28
C
$49.57
D
$51.34

Explanation

A 42% markdown means the jacket costs 100% − 42% = 58% of its original price. Calculate $72.90 × 0.58 = $42.282, which rounds to $42.28 to the nearest cent. The new price is $42.28.
