2. You buy a pair of pants. The original cost of the pants is $30.00. The pants are on
sale for 20% off. Show your work or explain your mental math for each part! Pls explain!

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Explanation:

30 divided by 10 to get 10 percent which is 3, multiply that by 2 to get 20 percent which is 6, 30 (100 percent) minus 6 (20 percent) equals 24

Answer 2

20/100=0.2
0.2x30.00=6
30-6=24

You need to convert the 20 into a decimal so you divide it by 100 and you will have to multiply the result by the price of the pants (30.00) and it will give you what will be discounted. and he only challenges the result (6) by the price of the pants.
So the answers is 24
