Question

A computer store is having a sale. A laptop originally cost $700 and is now being sold at a fifth off of the original price. What is the sale price of the laptop?

Answer 1

$560

Explanation:

1/5th the original price just means 20%

20% of 700 is 140

700*.20= 140

Since it's 20% off that means subtraction

700-140=560

Hope this helps!
