Question

An item is regularly priced at $20. Mai bought it on sale for 20% off the regular price. How much did Mai pay?

Answer 1

Mai Paid `=$.16`

Explanation:

Given -

Regular Price is `=$.20`
Discount `=20%`

If Regular Price is $.100; after the discount, its price is `=100-20=80`
If Regular Price is $.1; after the discount, its price is `=80/100=0.8`
If Regular Price is $.20; after the discount, its price is `=20 xx0.8=16`

Mai Paid `=$.16`

Answer 2

`$16`

Explanation:

To find the discounted price, I do `100% -` the Discount Rate times the Original Price.

So first,

`100% - 20% = 80%`

Then multiply `80%` or `0.8` to `20` and you will get how much did Mai pay. So:

`80% • 20 = 16`

Mai paid `$16.`
