Answer:

New Cost of item is [tex]\$ 21[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original Cost of item = [tex]\$ 42[/tex]

Item was marked down by [tex]50\%[/tex]

To Calculate Cost after [tex]50\%[/tex] marked  down we need to multiply original cost by 50 and then divide by hundred.

Cost after  marked down = [tex]\frac{42 \times 50}{100}= \$21[/tex]

Now New cost of the item is calculated by Subtracting Cost after [tex]50\%[/tex] marked down by Original Cost of item.

New cost of the item =  [tex]\$ 42 - \$ 21 = \$21[/tex]
