You can put this solution on YOUR website! A 27'' color television is on sale for 20% off the original price. If the original price was $275.00, what is the discounted price?
A. $220.00 B. $206.25 C. $330.00 D. $55.00
-------------------
100% = $275
20% = $55
---------- Subtract
80% = $220

20% off means you pay the remaing 80% of the original price.
80% is 0.8.
$275*0.8 = $220
