Question

The price of an item has been reduced by 20% . The original price was $80 . What is the price of the item now?

Answer 1

$64

Explanation:

80/100=0.8

0.8x20=16

80-16=64

If 0.8 is 1% of the price, then we can multiply it by 20 and get the 16 we need to take off the price. 80-16=64, therefore the new price is $64!
