Question

A jacket has an original price tag of $68. The jacket is on sale for 80% of its original price. What is the sale price of the jacket?

Answer 1

I believe it is 54.40$

Explanation:

I think weird. so

68 divided by 5 which will give you 20%(13.6) then multiply by 4 which is 80%(54.4)

Answer 2

Sale price = $13.6

Explanation:

The 80% cost of the jacket is,

→ (68/100) × 80

→ 0.68 × 80

→ $54.4

Now the sale price will be,

→ 100% - 80%

→ 68 - 54.4

→ $13.6

Hence, sale price is $13.6.
