Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the hot tub = 3600/-

But the price of the hot tub was marked down

= 250/-

Assume that the original price be 100%

Now find the percentage for marked down price

3600 : 100 = 250 : x

x = [250×100]/3600

x = 25000/3600

x = 6.944

So the option c is correct
