Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the amount of markdown

$175.90 - 153.77= 22.13$

Step2: Calculate the percent markdown

Percent markdown = $\frac{\text{Markdown}}{\text{Original price}}\times100%=\frac{22.13}{175.90}\times 100%$ $\frac{22.13}{175.90}\times 100%\approx 12.6%$ Rounding to the nearest percent gives 13%.
