Question

A $280 suit is marked down by 10%. Find the sale price.

Answer 1

Ex (increase, such as taxes or price hike):

I want to increase $5 by 20%.

That means I would have to find the product of $5 and 120%.

$5*1.20=6

If you increase $5 by 20%, you will get $6.

Ex (decrease, such as a discount or a special deal):

I want to decrease $5 by 20%.

That means I would have to find the product of $5 and 80%.

$5*.80=4

If you decrease $5 by 20%, you will get 4.
