Jay bought a cell phone that was originally sold for $126. It was on sale for 33 1/3% off the original price. How much did he pay for the phone?

It was on sale for 2/3 of the original price of $126. If you multiply 126 by 2/3, you get $84, which is the solution.

$84.

He paid $84 for the phone

126 x .333 = $42 discount

126 - 42 = 84
