The regular price of a bag is $41.45. During a sale, the bag was marked 20% off. What was the price of the bag during the sale? $8.29 $33.16 $39.45 $41.25 @Michele_Laino

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here we have to do this computation: \[\Large 41.45 - \frac{{20}}{{100}} \cdot 41.45 = ...?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

41.25?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: \[\Large \frac{{20}}{{100}} \cdot 41.45 = 8.29\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so A? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that A is wrong, since we have to do this: \[\Large 41.45 - \left( {\frac{{20}}{{100}} \cdot 41.45} \right) = 41.45 - 8.29 = ...?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

33.16 @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b is the final answer? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
