After prime planting season was over, a horticulturist sold lilac bushes for $15.00. If the original price was $39.00, what is the percentage markdown?

Find what percent of $39.00 the sale price was. => 15/39*100=38.4% now subtract from 100% to get the mark down percentage. 100-38.4=61.6 Final answer: Marked down 61.6% Hope I helped :)

The percentage markdown on the lilac bushes is approximately 61.54%. This is calculated by finding the difference between the original price and the sale price, then dividing by the original price and multiplying by 100. As a result, the markdown reflects a significant reduction in price.
