Question

There is a 20% off sale going on at your local electronic store. The price of an mp3 player is 35.96$. What is the new price?

Answer 1

First, you should find 20% of 35.96:
So, you would say... (20*35.96)/100 which is equal to 7.192

Then, this is the money that you should not pay... so, you should say:
35.96-7.192= 28.768

So the answer is: 28.768

Have a wonderful day :)

Answer 2

35.96 x 0.20 = 7.19 sale dollars
35.96 - 7.19 = 28.77 dollars is the new price.
