Question

An item is regularly priced at $85. Kareem bought it on sale for 80% off the regular price. How much did Kareem pay? $

Answer 1

∵ The regular price = $85

∵ The discount = 80% of the regular price

→ To find the price after discount assume that the regular price = 100%

∵ Selling price = regular price - discount

∴ Selling price = 100% - 80% = 20%

→ now we will find the 20% of 85 to get the selling price

`\because Selling=85*(20)/(100)`

∴ The selling price = $17

∴ Kareem paid 17 dollars
