Question

The original price P of an item less a discount of 20% ?

Answer 1

You would calculate the price by multiplying the original price by 0.80
P(0.80)

Answer 2

0.8 P

Explanation:

Let the origional price of P

A discount of 20% is given on the item

The price of item=[P(100-d)]÷100

The price of the item=
`(p(100-20))/(100)`

The price of the item=
`(p(80))/(100)`

The price of the item= 0.8 P

If the discount 20% is given on origional price of the item, than the price will be 0.8 P

Hence, the correct answer is 0.8 P
