Question

Nick bought a pair of glasses for $200. He later saw the same glasses advertised for 20% less than what he originally paid. What price were the glasses being advertised for?

Answer 1

Start by finding 20% of $200.

(200)(0.2) = 40

Then subtract this amount from the original price, $200.

$200 - $40 = $160

The glasses were being advertised for $160.
