Question

12. Nick bought a pair of glasses for $200. He later saw the same glasses advertised for 20% less than what he originally paid. What price were the glasses being advertised for?

Answer 1

160 is the answer to this 

Answer 2

$160

Explanation:

Nick bought a pair of glasses for $200.

Now, the same glasses advertised for 20% less than what he originally paid.

Since the original price is $200.

So, 20% of original price :
`20\% *200`

`(20)/(100) *200`

`40`

Since we are given that the discounted price of the glasses is 20% less than what he originally paid.

⇒
`200-(20\% *200)`

⇒
`200-40`

⇒
`160`

Thus the discounted price is $160

Hence the price being the glasses advertised is $160
