Question

Alexander purchased a computer on sale. The original price was $1,200. The sale price was 5/6 of the original price. How much did he pay

Answer 1

5/6 of 1,200. First step in the way I do it. Divide 1,200 by 6, which is 200, and then take 5 of those 200’s. So 5 times 200 is 1,000. This way of doing these types of equations will be pretty useful in my opinion
