If an item costs $28 and is discounted, we calculate the markdown amount by multiplying $28 by the markdown rate, then subtract that amount from the original price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first statement, a 10 percent markdown means we compute 10 percent of $28, which is 0.10 \u00d7 28 = 2.80. Subtracting that from $28 gives 28 \u2212 2.80 = 25.20, so statement 1 is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the second, a 25 percent markdown is 0.25 \u00d7 28 = 7.00. Then 28 \u2212 7.00 = 21.00, confirming that statement 2 is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third statement involves a 35 percent markdown. Calculate 0.35 \u00d7 28 = 9.80. Then 28 \u2212 9.80 = 18.20, making statement 3 also correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for the false options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statement 4 claims a 40 percent markdown leads to a price of $29.80. That cannot be correct because the price should decrease. Calculating 0.40 \u00d7 28 = 11.20, and 28 \u2212 11.20 = 16.80, not 29.80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statement 5 says a 50 percent markdown results in $19.00. But 0.50 \u00d7 28 = 14.00, so 28 \u2212 14.00 = 14.00, not 19.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the accurate answers are statements 1, 2, and 3. This process is a practical application of percentage calculations used in retail pricing and discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-703.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-703.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-703-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-703-768x923.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct statements are: Let\u2019s break down how we arrive at these answers by understanding the concept of percentage markdown.
