To find the markdown price, we need to multiply the original price by the percentage that is being marked down (which is 35% or 0.35), and then subtract that from the original price. So, for the dress:

Markdown amount = $57.50 x 0.35 = $20.13
Markdown price = $57.50 - $20.13 = $37.37

Therefore, the best choice is B.
