Question

The original price or a pair of shoes is $42. The sale price is 20% off the original price. What is the amount off the original price

Answer 1

The amount at end with the sale price would be $33.6 because 42 × 20/100 (which is basically 20%) will give you 8.4. Since its a sale discount, you will have to subtract 8.4 from the original price. 42-8.4 = 33.6.
