Question

Miss Garcia is ordering pizza for students in the homework club. A large two-topping Pizza is 20% off the regular price of $15. Miss Garcia wants to know the sale price.What percent of the regular price is the sale price.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sale price is $12 which is 80% of the regular price.

Step-by-step explanation:

A large two-topping Pizza is 20% off the regular price of $15.

Therefore, the sale price is $15(1 - \frac{20}{100} ) = 15 \times 0.8 = 12$ dollars. (Answer)

Now, let us assume that x% of regular price i.e. $15 is the sale price i.e. $12.

So, $\frac{15 \times x}{100} = 12$

⇒ $x = \frac{12 \times 100}{15}$

⇒ x = 80%  (Answer)
