@surd @bibby @undeadknight26 @This_Is_Batman HELP MEE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are simple once you get them. :) Multiply 160 by .4, which is the same as 40%.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WOW that did not take long and PLZ HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you get? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

640 for the multiply or do u mean the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get 640. Oh, sweetheart. I said .4, not 4. :p With the decimal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol. :3 No worries. SO what did you get from that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question answer i got 40.00

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so 64 is 40% of 160. And if we have a 40% DISCOUNT, what do you think we need to do with that 40%? (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find out what 40% of 160 is and the answer to dat is 64?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then add that to the total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, 40% of 160 is 64. Discount means it is SUBTRACTED from the total. Sooo?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$160 - $64 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

96 add that the answer is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

256

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why are you adding? v_v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am adding 90 and 160

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why? Discount means subtraction..

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

.40 x 160 = amount of discount

OpenStudy (anonymous):

160 * .40=64 160-64= 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude i suck at math

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

they are not asking for the price after the discount, just the amount of the discount. No subtraction is needed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 160-90=70 so the answer is 70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMFG I AM STUPID

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

.40 x 160 = your discount

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 64

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THX

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHAT? Noooooo. It's 96.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Waut what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't put thaaaaatttt!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay i didnt What is the correct answer than?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

160*.40=64 ___160-64=***96***

OpenStudy (anonymous):

CAN U JUST TELL ME THE ANSWER I NEED HELP oh thx

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

it is not asking for the price after the discount is applied. It is asking for the discount, which is 40% of 160. Now the price after the discount is applied is $96. But the discount is $64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH SHOOT. Nope. I read the question wrong. It is 64. I was finding the price after the discount is taken. My bad. v_v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry. I almost had a heart attack. Yikes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
