Answer: D. 235.34

To answer this question we must first find the percentage of decrease.

To do this we must subtract 287 from 350

to find the difference. -63

Next, we must divide -63 by the original number, 350, to find -0.18.

Now we will multiply -0.18 by 100 to find the percentage.

So, the decrease is by -18%

Because -18% of 287 is 51.66 this will be the amount of money we subtract.

So, 287 - 51.66

235.34 is the price  after the second markdown.

I hope you found this helpful!
