Answer 12

im confuse.

Answer 13

\[800\div160=5\]
\[100\div5=20\]
\[800-160=640\]

Answer 14

so the sales price is 640 the rate discount is 20 %

Answer 15

So, you're trying to find how many percent of 800 dollars $160 is.

To do this, one way to go about it is to figure out what 10% of 800 dollars is.

\[0.10*800=80\] So 10% equals 80 dollars. What would 20% be, in dollars? \[0.20*800=160\] 160 dollars. Therefore, the rate of discount is 20%.

Now to figure out the sales price. \[800-160=640\]


Another, perhaps more scientific/mathematical way to go about it is to simply divide 800 by 160. \[800\div160=5\] So 160 is one fifth of 800. Now, to find out the percentage of one fifth, simply divide 100 (100% of something) by 5 (one fifth of that 100%) \[100\div5=20\] Therefore, one fifth of something is the same as 20% of something.

So, the rate of discount is 20%. Now that that is done, all we have to do is subtract. \[800-160=640\]
