– ★ 80% of 30

[tex]\red{\twoheadrightarrow\sf \dfrac{80}{100} \times 30}[/tex]

[tex]\twoheadrightarrow\sf \dfrac{8\cancel{0}}{1\cancel{0}\cancel{0}} \times 3\cancel{0}[/tex]

[tex]\twoheadrightarrow\sf 8 \times 3 [/tex]

[tex]\red{\twoheadrightarrow\sf 24} [/tex]

  • Therefore, new price will be 24 $.
