A $220 tablet is on sale at half price for $110. You have a coupon for 20% off the sale price. If you use your coupon to buy the tablet, what percent of the original price will you pay?

ok so $220 is the original price
$110 is the sale price
20% is applicable for the sale price

$110×0.2 (20%=
(20)/(100) = 0.2)
= $22

Original price ×
(n)/(100) = 22
220 ×
(n)/(100) = 22

(n)/(100) = 0.1
n = 100×0.1
n=10%
We pay 10% of the original price.
Check: 220 × 0.1 (10%=
(10)/(100) = 0.1)
=$22
