Question

You have a 20% off coupon to use at the store. Your total was $80 before the discount. How much do you need to pay? A) $16. B) $60.C) $64.D) $100

Answer 1

$80 is the total.

You get a 20% discount.

We want the price after this.

20% in decimal (divide by 100) is:

20/100 = 0.2

So,

20% of 80 is:

0.2 * 80 = 16

Thus, you have $16 off of 80.

Your final total you would need to pay:

80 - 16 = $64

C is the correct answer.
