Question

Grace buys a $60 computer game on sale for 20% off. What is the sale price of the computer game?

Answer 1

$48

Explanation:

To calculate the sale price of the computer game, we need to find out how much 20% of $60 is. To do this, we know 20% is also equal to 20/100 (from 100%) which can be further simplified to `1/5`. To find 1/5 of 60 we multiply them together.
`1/5` x 60 = 12
So this would mean 20% of $60 is $12.
As we are looking for the sale price of the computer game, we have to take away $12 from the full price.
$60 - $12 = $48
Therefore, the sale price of the computer game is $48.

Answer 2

$48

Explanation:

Original price is 60 dollars, `60`
The game is 20% off, so that's `20/100(60)`

Therefore your discount is `20/100(60)=1200/100=12`
12 dollars off.

Sale price: `60-12=48`
$48
