Step-by-step explanation:

Given the original selling price of DVD player as $179.30 and the new sale price to be $144.77, the the first step in finding the percent markdown is to take the difference between the original selling price and the sale price to give $179.30 - $144.77 = $34.53

Percent markdown = original selling price - new sale price/original selling price * 100%

Percent markdown = $34.53/$179.30 * 100%

% markdown = 19.26%
