1. Timmy wants to buy a scooter and the price was $50. When he goes to the store a second time, he found that price was marked down by 20%. What is the new price?

2. A football is selling for 35% off the original price. The original price was $60. What is the sale price of the football?

Answer 1

The new price of the scooter will be:

= $50 - (20% × $50)

= $50 - $10

= $40

The sale price of the football will be:

= 35% × $60

= $21
