Question

The regular price of a watch is $32.25. During a sale, the watch was marked 16% off. What was the price of the watch during the sale?

$5.16
$16.25
$21.16
$27.09

Answer 1

Well, since it is 16% off, you know the person buying the watch only payed 84% of the original price. You could set up a proportion to find out how much he payed, like such:

\(\LARGE\frac{1}{32.25}=\frac{0.86}{?}\)

I changed it to decimals by dividing the percents by 100. Now you just cross-multiply and divide.

Answer 2

you do 32.25*16%=5.16 32.25-5.16=27.09
