    Answer: $318.75

    Explanation: If you use the proportion x over total equals percent over one hundred you get $318.75. You would put x over 425 (x is the unknown and 425 is the total) equals 25 over one hundred (25 which is the percent and the percent is always on top of 100 because percents are out of 100). You multiply 425 (the total) times 25 (the percent) which equals 10,625. You divide that by 100 (because your using cross-multiplication) which equals $106.25. Then you subtract $106.25 away from $425 (because that is only the discount) and get $318.75. So the total markdown of the table is $318.75.
