Question

is the end of soccer season all the equipment at the sports table is on sale for 20% off how do you find 20% of the regular price what would you do with this amount to find the sale price

Answer 1

x=100%
x-20%=sales Price
Solve for x

Examples

Helmet $100
0.8 times $100 = $80

or 20% is 1/5 (5*20%=100%) so simply divide the original price by 5 and you have your result.

Answer 2

to find the 20% of the regular price you just multiple 20 by the original value

to find the selling price you just deduct the 20% price from the original value
