Question

A store is having a 40% off sale! If an item is originally priced at $20, what will be the sale price?

Answer 1

Original Price = $20

Discount = 40%

First Calculate the discount amount by multiplying the original price (20) by the percentage discount in decimal form ( divided by 100)

20 x (40/100) = 20 x 0.4 = 8

Then subtract the discount amount to the original price:

20-8 = 12

Sale price : $12
