Question

What is the cost of a $1,200 washing machine after a discount of 1/5 of the original price

Answer 1

For this case we have to:

`\frac {1} {5} (1200) = 240`

Then, the washing machine was discounted $240.

Subtracting this amount from the original price we have

$1200- $240 = $960

So, after the discount, the washing machine costs $960

ANswer:

After the discount, the washing machine costs $960
