Question

An article sells for $415. 80. You wish to discount it by 20%. At what price will you offer it after the discount?

Answer 1

$332.64

Explanation:

Since we are applying a discount to a price tag, we will be decreasing the amount of that price tag.

In this case, we will be taking 20% off of $415.80. This means that our new price tag will be 80% of what it originally was. To find the answer, we must first change 80% into a decimal.

80% ->
`(80)/(100)` -> 0.980

Next, we multiple $415.80 by 0.80 as shown below:

`415.80(0.80)`

Our answer will be:

$332.64
