Question

Show the best answer for an 11 year old nephew of mines.

Answer 1

First find the amount that would be saved (or the discount). This can be accomplished by calculating 20% of $160.

20% in decimal form is 0.20

We can multiply 160 by 0.20 to determine the amount saved: 0.20 * $160 = $32 saved

The sale price would be $160 - 32 = $128
