Question

An item is regularly priced at $35 . It is on sale for 80% off the regular price. What is the sale price?

Answer 1

First change 80% to a decimal

80% = 80/100 = 0.80

Next, multiply 35 with 0.80

35 x 0.80 = 28

Next, subtract the number gotten (28) with the regular price (35)

35 - 28 = 7

$7 is the sales price
