Abook is marked down by 28 percent from an original price of $19.50. what is the new price?

The new price of the book = $14.04

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, the original price of book = $19.50

Price marked down by 28 percent, that means the original price of the book was decreased by 28%.

Also, 28%= 0.28  [we divide % by 100 to convert it into decimal]

Then , the new price is given by :-

New price = (Original price) - ( Marked down percentage)  x (Original price)

= ($19.50)- (0.28) ($19.50)

= ($19.50)(1-0.28)

= ($19.50) (0.72)

= $14.04

Therefore , the new price of the book = $14.04
