Question

if something starts out at costing $500, and then is marked down by 25% on each of three occasions, what is the final price?

Answer 1

Well first you multiply 500 by 25%, and you get 125, then you subtract 125 from 500, and you get, 375. Then you just do the same thing two more times, and you get 210.94.

Answer 2

$125 because when you do $500x0.75 it equals $375. $500-375=$125
