Answer:
The answer is $3000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The men's clothing buyer had a group of 50 jackets priced at $250 each.
Total price of jackets = [tex]50\times250=12500[/tex] dollars
The buyer reduced the price of the jackets in that group to $200 and 40 jackets were sold.
So, the price for selling 40 jackets is = [tex]40\times200=8000[/tex] dollars
Remaining jackets =[tex]50-40=10[/tex]
These were sold at $150 each, totaling to = [tex]10\times150=1500[/tex] dollars
So, overall money earned by reducing prices both time = [tex]8000+1500=9500[/tex] dollars
And the markdown in dollars = (original price before reducing) minus (educed total price)
= [tex]12500-9500=3000[/tex] dollars
So, the answer is $3000.
