Question

an electronic store had a 20% off sale. If a stareo originally cost $125, how much did the stareo cost during the sale?

Answer 1

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 125 by 0.80.  This is because 125 is the original amount nd to find out how much you have to pay, you would subtract 20% from 100% to get 80%.  Now, you know that you have to pay for 80% of the stereo.  In order to multiply the two numbers together, you have to convert 80% to a decimal which is 0.80.  Lastly, you multiply to get 1oo.  Therefore, the stereo costs $100.00 during the sale.
