To find the percentage markdown, you need to calculate what portion of the original price the markdown represents.
Step 1: Calculate the amount of the markdown.
The computer game's price is marked down by $18.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage markdown.
To find the percentage, divide the amount of the markdown by the original price and multiply by 100.
Percentage markdown = (amount of markdown / original price) x 100
Given:
Amount of markdown = $18
Original price = $45
Percentage markdown = (18 / 45) x 100
Percentage markdown = 0.4 x 100
Percentage markdown = 40%
Therefore, the markdown represents 40% of the original price.
