Question

A gaming system is originally priced at $365. It is now on sale for 20% off. What is the price of the system with the discount?

Answer 1

Original price = $365

Price with 20% off = 80% of original price

= 365 x
`(80)/(100)`

= 365 x
`(4)/(5)`

= 73 x 4

= $292

Therefore, the price of the system with the discount is $292.

Answer 2

$365 x 0.20 = $73 —this means the discount was $73. Now take the original price of $365 and subtract $73 —So the discount price and correct answer is $292.
