Question

The original price of a bicycle is $130. The sale price is 60% of the original price. What is the sale price of the bicycle?

Answer 1

Answer:

$78

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a portion of anything, you just multiply your first item by the equivalent decimal of your percent. Let's put it into action in this problem:

If your original price of your bike is $130, and you are trying to find the sale price, which is 60% (aka 0.6) of your original price. Now, like I previously mentioned, to find the portion of your price, you just want to multiply your OG price (130) by the decimal equivalent of your sale, (0.6). So 130*0.6=78
