Answer 14

The regular price of an item is $120. The item is on sale at a discount rate of 20%.
What is the sale price of the item?

Answer 15

It's the same thing.
you always take the original number and multiply by the percentage.
the way to get your percentage in your equation correctly is to make it a decimal. meaning in this case you'd make 20% .20

Answer 16

I got 2400

Answer 17

nope.. you're forgetting the decimal point.
it's 120 X .20 = ???
if you don't make the %20 a decimal number you'll end up way higher then you need to be and get the question wrong

Answer 18

24

Answer 19

yup that's the discount... now if you want to find the price of the item after you take that discount away you would subtract that discount from your original price.
in this case it would be 120-24=???

What is the discount rate?

Answer 29

Ok, $65 item.
Discount of $8
What percent was the discount?

You want to know $8 is what percent of $65.

$8/$65 * 100

Answer 40

Great.
Now we want to know what percent 15 is of 120.
