Question

If a sweatshirt normally costs $40 but it is
marked down 20%. How much would it cost?

Answer 1

$32

Explanation:

First, find 20% of 40.

20% as a decimal is 0.20 (20/100)

0.20 x 40 = 8

Now, subtract 8 from the original price.

40 - 8 = 32

Answer 2

$32

40 decrease 40%

40 x (1-20%) = 40 x (1-0.2) =32
