Answer:

The rate of markdown it would have to offer is 27.3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of sofa was, OP = $880.

The new price of sofa is, NP = $640

The change in price is:

[tex]Change=OP-NP\\=880-640\\=240[/tex]

The rate of markdown offered by the shopkeeper is:

[tex]Rate\ of\ markdown=\frac{Change\ in\ Price}{Orignal\ Price}\times100 \\=\frac{240}{880}\times100\\ =0.27273\times100\\\approx27.3\%[/tex]

Thus, the rate of markdown offered by the shopkeeper is 27.3%.
