the original price of a backpack is $20. The sale price is 30% off the original price. What is the sale price of the backpack?

Respuesta :

Answer: $14

Step-by-step explanation: You have to multiply 20 by .3 (30%) which is 6. Now you subtract 6 from 20 and get 14.

Percent formula
Part/Whole=%/100
The original price is 20- that’s the whole.
We want the reduced price- the part.
%=30.
100= just a number.
X/20=30/100
Solve for x
X=6.

OR
You could simply do .3 x 20 which gives 6
