First off, lets start with the 20% off. Do you know how to find this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
20%/11
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Close, good try though :) It would actually be 11-(20%*11), or just 11*80%. How do we convert percents into decimals?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8.8
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
yes! Now we need 107% of 8.8 to find the total price
