Question

Escape what is on sale for 60% off the regular $80 price what is the sales price

Answer 1

$32

Explanation:

The sales price = original price - original price * discount rate

Factor out the original price

sales price = original price (1 -discount rate)

We know the original price is 80

We know the discount rate is 60% = .6

Substitute these values in

sales price = 80 (1-.6)

sales price = 80 * .4

sales price = 32

Answer 2

$32 is the sales price.

Explanation:

First, change the percentage to a decimal.

60% = 60/100 = 0.6

Next, multiply 0.6 with the regular price ($80)

80 x 0.6 = 48

$48 is the discount. Subtract from the original price

80 - 48 = 32

$32 is the sales price.
