Question

A jacket is on sale for 20% off. The

original price is $60. What is the new
price? Show your work.

Answer 1

New price = $48

Explanation:

New price = Original price - (original price × 20%)

New price = $60 - ($60 × .20)

New price = $60 - $12

New price = $48

Or If the jacket is 20%, you will pay 80% of the cost.

So Original price × the percentage that you paid = New price

$60 × 80% = New price

$60 × .80 = $48
