Set up the proportions
136/160 = ?/100
Then cross multiply.
100 x 136 = 13600
13600/160 = 85
Also you could use process of elimination. 296% wouldn’t work because that’s saying 136 is almost 3 times as many as 160. The other answers wouldn’t work because it’s clear that 136 is more than half of 160.
True. True. True.Trrrrueee
We can use algebra.
So, what rate time 1.20 = .80
Let x = the rate (in a decimal form)
1.20x = .80
x = .6666666666
Now, we need to multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
66.66 The price is 66% of the regular price.
They marked it off

The distributive properties of addition and subtraction can be used to rewrite expressions for a variety of purposes. In each case, you are distributing the outside multiplier to each number in the parentheses, so that multiplication occurs with each number before addition or subtraction occurs.
