Question

A coat regularly sells for $59.00. It is on sale for 20% off. What is the sale price of the coat?

Answer 1

59*.2=11.80
59-11.80=$47.2
Answer= $47.20

Answer 2

Original price : $59.00 ( 100 % )
100 % - 20 % = 80%.

100 % - $59.00
1 % - $59.00 / 100 = $0.59
80 % - $0.59 x 80 = $47.20

Hence, the sale price of the coat is $47.20.

Hope this helps you! :)
