Just assume original price is 100.
Sale price = 80
Then it is marked down by 10% = 80-8=72.
Hence it is 72% od the original price. Hence answer is A.

consider the original price of the shirt to be $100
during the sale its price is 80% of original price = $80
marking down the price by further 10% = 0.9 * 80 = $ 72
so final price is 72% of original price
correct answer - A
