Question

Jamie is buying a dress with a discount of 20%.

If the original cost of the dress is $60, what is the discounted price?

Answer 1

Answer: $48

Explanation:

You're going to multiple 60 by 0.2 to get the discount and then subtract that from 60 the discount is $12. 60-12 is 48 so the answer is 48

Answer 2

$48

Explanation:

Take 20% of 60: 60*0.2=12

Subtract 12 from 60: 60-12=48

So the discounted price is $48. You can also shortcut it and do 60(1-0.2)=48.

Hope this helped!
