Kendra is buying an outfit that is on sale for 20% off. The original price of the outfit is $109. What is the sale price?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take 109 divide by 100 then multiply by twenty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$21.80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then take 109 minus the answer for the last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you would get $87.20

OpenStudy (shinalcantara):

since it is 20% off.. then you'll get the idea that the outfit's sale price would be 80% of the original price.. 0.8(109)=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply 109*0.8. Because you want to know the sell price. The other 0.2 is the discount (109)(0.8)=87.2

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

21.80

OpenStudy (shinalcantara):

charliealbert is right by the way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it comes out to be 21.80 that means thats how much is taken off so the answer would be 109-21.80 which is $87.20
