Question

If a bike is $125 how much will it be when its discounted by 20%

Answer 1

The answer is you saved $25.00 and the new total is $100.00

Explanation:

so first you set up the equation of is over of = percent over 100

`(a)/(125)=(20)/(100)\\\\`

then simplify the
`(20)/(100)=(1)/(5)`

then you see if 5 can go into 125. It can so you divide 125 by 5=25

so you multiply the
`(1)/(5)=(25)/(125)`

so now you just
`(a)/(125)=(25)/(125)`

then you just subtract the 25 because that is how much you are saving and your total will be $100.00

Answer 2

160 pages.

Explanation:

That is 125 - 0.20 * 125

= 125 - 25

= 160 pages.
