George Harper · Answer 1

10%=$25.20

25%=$21.00

35%=$18.20

Step-by-step explanation:

A mark-down in price of 10% is the same as 90% of the original price. 90% can be expressed as 0.9. $28.00 (0.9) = $25.20. This same explanation holds true for the 25%/35% mark-down: $28.00 (1-0.25) = $21.00; $28.00 (1-0.35) = $18.20. Additionally, if you try this with the 40%/50% mark-downs it doesn't work.
