The price of an item has been reduced by 60% the original price was $20 what is the price of the item now

Respuesta :

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

20 times 0.3 is 6

Answer:

reduced by 20% so that means it is going to be 20% cheaper. You need to take off 20% of $60

20% is 0.2

of in math ALWAYS means multiply

0.2 X 60 = 12

You get 12 off  

60 - 12 = 48

the new price is $48.00

Here is another way. You get 20 % off and that leaves 80% that you have to pay.

80% of 60  

= 0.8 x 60

= 48

You pay $48.00
