Dimitri is buying a car. He chooses Option 1 to add a new sound system to his car. What integer represents the change from the base price of the car to its final price?

The change from the base price to the final price is the markdown price. By definition, the markdown price is a reduction of the price to encourage people to buy the product. Thus, this integer is equivalent to -$1,100.00. The negative sign is essential to signify that there is a reduction to the price.

Integers are simply numbers (whether positive or negative) without decimal points. The integer that represents the change to the final price is -1100

Given that:

[tex]Sale = -\$700.00[/tex]

[tex]Opt.\ 1 = +\$1400.00[/tex]

[tex]Markdown = -\$1100.00[/tex]

The base price of Opt. 1 is +$1400.00

The markdown is -$1100.00

The markdown represents the change from the base price to the final price

So, we have:

[tex]Markdown = -\$1100.00[/tex]

However, the above number is not an integer.

The integer equivalent is

[tex]Markdown = -\$1100[/tex] --- by removing the decimal point

Hence, the integer that represents the change to the final price is -1100
