Question

a car that originally cost $24,000 is marked down by twenty percent.how much will it now cost to buy the car? please tell me how you got the answer. thanks!

Answer 1

marked down means discount....$24000 is the cost price and 20%is the discount....
$24000 equal 100% because it is the original cost
?????? equal 20%.now we want to find out how much is 20% of 24000

$24000×20÷100......you then get $4800.
then $24000-$4800 which will be $19200
