Answer 6

You want to buy something that costs $63, and it's on sale for 20% off. What is the item's sale price?
First, convert the 20% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 20% by 100%, or 20% / 100% = 0.200.

Second, find out what 20% of $63 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.200 by the item's cost $63, like this:

0.200 x $63 = $12.60.
So for this sale, you'll save $12.60 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

$63 - $12.60 = $50.40.
Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 20% off. This means you'll pay 80.000% of the total cost (100% - 20% = 80.000%).

Now what's 80.000% of the total cost?
