Answer 1

$160 is the correct answer

Answer 2

$160 was the price at which glasses were advertised.

Explanation:

Nick bought a pair of glasses for 200.

He later saw the same glasses advertised for 20% less than what he originally paid.

We have to find the price of the glasses as per advertisement.

Price of the sunglasses after discount of 20% = Price Nick paid - 20% of price Nick paid

= 200 - 20% of 200

= 200 - 200×
`(20)/(100)`

= 200 - 200×0.2

= 200 - 40

= 160

Therefore, the price of the glasses was $160 in the advertisement.
