Question

A $32 item is marked as 20% off. What is the sale price?

Answer 1

$25.60

20%=.2
since it's 20% OFF, you want to get rid of .2 of the 32.
so 1-.2=.8
and .8 x 32 = 25.60

Answer 2

Sale Price = $ 25.6

Explanation:

Given That

The original price of an item = $ 32

The amount it is market off = 20 %

Sale Price= ?

The sale price can be found as follows:

Sale Price = Original Price - Discount on Original Price

Sale Price = 32 - 20 % of 32

Sale Price = 32 -
`(20)/(100)`×32

Sale Price = 32 - 0.20× 32

Sale Price = 32 - 6.4

Sale Price = $ 25.6

So, our sale price is $ 25.6
