Question

The original price P of an item less a discount of 20% ?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.8 P

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the origional price of P

A discount of 20% is given on the item

The price of item=[P(100-d)]÷100

The price of the item= $\frac{p(100-20)}{100}$

The price of the item= $\frac{p(80)}{100}$

The price of the item= 0.8 P

If the discount 20% is given on origional price of the item, than the price will be 0.8 P

Hence, the correct answer is 0.8 P

Answer 2

You would calculate the price by multiplying the original price by 0.80
P(0.80)
