Question

you find a shirt You want to buy and the original price is $26.95 if the shirt is marked as 20% off find the discount and the sales price?

Answer 1

100 - 20 = 80


`(x)/(26.95) = (80)/(100)`

26.95 x 80 = 2,156


`(2156)/(100)`

21.56 <------- new price

26.95 - 21.56 = 5.39 <------- discount price

Answer 2

100% - 20% = 80%

$26.95 * 80% = $21.56

You multiply by 80% because you are taking 20% off and now want to know what 80% of the price will be.
