Question

A home improvement store normally sells 20-foot extension ladders for $225. This week the ladders are discounted by 20%. What is the sale price of the ladders? Please explain

Answer 1

The answer is 180

Explanation:

So to start off you have to turn 20% into a decimal and that is .20.

Next you need to mutiply 225 and .20 and you will get 45 (that means it is $45 off)

Subtract 45 fro 225 and that is your answer.

You now pay $180 for the 20 foot extension ladder.
