Question

A store is planning on having New Year's sale in which all winter coats will be discounted by 60%. Find the sale price of a coat that

has a regular price of $80

Answer 1

$32

Explanation:

Since the coats are discounted by 60%, we need to find 100-60=40% of the original price.

We need to find 40% of 80.

We can use proportional relationships.

100%=80

10%=8

40%=32
