Question

Abdul wants to buy a new bike. The one he likes costs $120, but is marked down 30%. What is the final price of the bike?

Answer 1

$84

Explanation:

First, convert the percentage to a decimal so you can calculate the discount. (Move the decimal place two places to the left.)
`30%=> 0.3`

Multiply the original price by the decimal to find how much Abdul will save.
`$120 * 0.3 = $36`

Subtract the markdown from the original price to find out how much the bike will cost after the discount.
`$120 - $36 = $84`
