Question

The stereo that Dontay bought wasoriginally priced at $199. Dontay boughtthe stereo on sale for 20% off. How muchmoney did Dontay save?

Answer 1

We are told that Dontax bought the stereo on a sale of 20% off, meaning he will only have to pay 100% -20% = 80% of the price.

Now, 80% of $199 is

`199*(80)/(100)`
`=\$159.2`

Hence the amount of money Dontay saved is

`199-159.2=\$39.8`

Which is our answer!
