Question

The regular price of a calculator is $49.95 before taxes. It goes on sale at 20% below the regular price. Before taxes are added, what is the sale price of the calculator?

Answer 1

$39.96

Explanation:

Since it is 20% off, we would multiply by .8, as we subtract the .2 (20%) off of the price.

$49.95 x 0.8 = $39.96
