Question

The price of an item has been reduced by 20%. The origanal price was $90. What is the price of the item now?

Answer 1

72

Explanation:

when asked to decrease a number by a certain percentage, take the original number as 100%

here 90 is equivalent to 100%.

We subtract 20% from 100% to get 80% ( that's the new value)

Answer 2

Answer: $72

Explanation:

90x.2=18

90-18=72

Hope this helped :)you turn your percent into a decimal and multiply it buy your original price and you get how much money you're saving which is 18 dollars then you subtract it by your original price
