We know that

• The percentage off is 12%.

,

• The original cost is $1,200.

First, we have to find 12% of $1,200, remember that 0.12 is equivalent to 12%.


0.12\cdot1,200=144

12% of $1,200 is $144. Then, we subtract this amount from the original price.


1,200-144=1,056

Therefore, the sale price is $1,056.
