Question

Manuel bought a toy car for 60% off the original price. The original price of the toy car was $8. What did he pay for the toy car when he bought it on sale?

Answer 1

First, let's find the 60% of 8:

`8(60\text{ \%)=8(0.6)=4.8}`

since the toy car was 60% off the original price, we must substract the 60% from the original price.

We already know that the 60% of the original price (8) is 4.8, then:

`8-4.8=3.2`

therefore, Manuel paid $3.2 for the toy car
