Let original price = x

Given that the initial sale price = 80% of x
One week later, sales price is MARKED DOWN by 10%

Target question => The final price is what percentage of the original price?

When an item is marked down, the marked down percentage is subtracted from 100%
Therefore, the sales price was worked down by (100 - 10)%
= 90% = 90/100 = 0.9

Hence, the final price after the markdown
= 0.9 * (80% of x)
= 72% of x

Answer = A

If the original price is n, the final price is 0.8n * 0.9 = 0.72n.
