Question 506097
a dress normally cost $74. the dress is on sale for 20% off. What is the sale price of the dress?

Sale price = Original price - 20% of the original price
Sale price = 74 - 20% of 74
Sale price = 74 - 20% * 74
Sale price = 74 - (20/100) * 74
Sale price = 74 - (1/5) * 74
Sale price = 74 - 74/5
Sale price = 74 - 14.8
Sale price = 59.20

Make it more simple
Sale price = Original price - 20% of the original price
Sale price = 74 - (0.20*74)
Sale price = 74 - 14.8
Sale price = 59.20
