Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A store has a 20% sale on everything.

So since you are saving 20%, you will only be paying 80% of the original price.

To find the sale price use the following formula:

Sale price = 80% x original price

They told us the original price = 350 AED

This means:

Sale price = 80% x 350

I think it would be easiest to change 80% into a fraction if you don't have a calculator :)

80% = $\frac{80}{100} = \frac{4}{5}$

This means that the

Sale Price= $\frac{4}{5}$ x 350 = 280 AED

Answer 2

350 (original sale price)
20% (sale)
350 x 20% = 70 (saving)
350 - 70 = 280 (spending) (new sale price)

Answer is 280 AED
