Question

A television normally sells for $320. This week, it's on sale at 60% off the normal price. What is the sale price?

A) $101
B) $128
C) $256
D) $301

Answer 1

B) $128.

Explanation:

For finding the answer, first we need to know about percentages.

1. Percentage of a number "x" can be found by multiplying "x" with the percentage (divided by 100),

x * Percentage/100

2. To find 60% of $320, we can use the above formula,

320 x 60/100 = 192

3. Since it is 60% off, we should subtract the original price with the 60% off value,

320 - 192 = 128

4. So the sale price is $128.

Answer 2

Hey You!

320 × 60% = 192

320 - 192 = 128

The sale price is B) $128.
