Question

Mr. Stanley bought a car that was marked down 18%.

Write an expression for the price, p
*Hint: Subtract the percentage from 100 and write it as a decimal*

Answer 1

P=100-0.18

Explanation:

Remember, percent means per every 100. So if the car cost $100, Mr. Stanley saves $18 on the car. Also, 18%= 0.18. And just for extra, single digit percents would be expressed with an extra zero in front of it, such as 5%=0.05.
