Question 282228: a car origanily sells for $12,ooo it is marked down 20% how much is the sale price?

If it was marked down 20%, that means it is 80% of it's price. 80% is the same thing as .80
$12000 * .80 = $9600
Otherwise you can find 20% of 12000 = 2400 then subtract it from 12000:
12000 - 2400 = 9600
