Question

Cristian is selling his favorite Pokémon card at a 20% discount off the regular price. The amount of the discount is $8.What is the regular price of the Pokémon card?

Answer 1

$40

Explanation:

Let

x = regular price the Pokémon card

Percentage of the discount = 20%

Amount of the discount = $8

$8.What is the regular price of the Pokémon card?

20% of x = $8

20/100 * x = 8

Divide both sides by 20/100

x = 8 ÷ 20/100

= 8 × 100/20

= 8 × 5

= 40

x = $40

The regular price of the Pokémon card is $40
