Question

Jack wants to buy a pair of trousers for $60 when he went to the store he found that the prices marked down by 20% how much do they cost now

Answer 1

To find the discount, multiply 60 by .2, which is 12. Now subtract 12 from 60. The trousers should cost $48 now because the cost has been reduced by 20% of 60, which is $12.

Answer 2

You multiply the cost (60)by he percentage(0.20) and subtract it from the total. So 60-12 is 48
