What is the sale price of a shirt that was originally 25 dollars but that has been marked down by 33 percent?
Answer
A
16 point 5 0 dollars
B
8 point 5 0 dollars
C
16 point 7 5 dollars
D
8 point 2 5 dollars
Explanation
A 33% markdown means the shirt costs 100% − 33% = 67% of its original price. Calculate $25 × 0.67 = $16.75, so the sale price is 16.75 dollars, choice C.
