No problem! Okay you must set and equation. $40 × ? = 10 I used multiplication because when things are discounted, they are multiplied by decimals ? = [tex] \frac{10}{40} [/tex] [tex] \frac{10}{40} [/tex] is equal to [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
1/4 is 25% The item needs to be marked down 25% to buy and get a discount of $10
