Question

I don't get percentages. Lets say it's 80% off of $ 150.00 . How do you do that ? Explaining it would help alot.

Answer 1

all you do is change 80 to a decimal (0.80) and multiply that by 150

Answer 2

just divide the percent by 100 (thats how I got 0.80)

Answer 3

then you take that number and subtract from 150

Answer 4

So 80% off of 150.00 would be $120.00 ?

Answer 5

wrong!!!!

Answer 7

oh sorry! what did I do

Answer 8

It costs 150 then you subtract 80% off of the 150, therefore you perform:

150 - .80(150)

Answer 9

yes that is what im trying to explain what hero said

Answer 10

So first you multiply .80 by 150
When you get the product of that, you subtract 150 ?
So wouldn't it be 150-120 then?

Answer 11

You must make 80% a decimal becoming .80.
The new problem becomes :

150*.80=120
then subtract 120 from 150.

Answer 12

you said to subtract .80 from 150

Answer 13

Yes that's correct annie.

Answer 14
