THE markdown percent for a shirt is 20%.if the old retail price was RM40,find the new retail price.

Multiply:

40*1.2=?

markdown = .2(40) = 8.00

new price = 40-8 = 32.00

or

what is .8(40) ?

oh i understand.tq

To find the new retail price of the shirt, we need to calculate the markdown amount and subtract it from the old retail price.

First, let's calculate the markdown amount.

Markdown amount = (Markdown percent/100) * Old retail price
= (20/100) * RM40
= 0.2 * RM40
= RM8

Now, subtract the markdown amount from the old retail price to get the new retail price.

New retail price = Old retail price - Markdown amount
= RM40 - RM8
= RM32

Therefore, the new retail price of the shirt is RM32.
