In a grocery store, a P250.00 case of soft drinks is labeled, "Get a 20% discount".
What is the discount? What is sale price of the case of soft drinks?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the context, the labeled price before discount is P250.00.


The 20% discount is  %2820%2F100%29%2A250 = %281%2F5%29%2A250 = 250%2F5 = P50.00.    ANSWER


The sale price after the discount is P250 - P50 = P200.    ANSWER

Solved.
