Respuesta :

Answer:

a) 80%   b) $80   c) $ 320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be $ 100

Discount= 20%

Hence, the selling price is= $ 100 ×[tex]\frac{100- 20}{100}[/tex]

Hence, the selling price is= $ 80

let selling price x % of original price

$ 80= [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex] × 100

x = 80%

Selling price is 80% of original price

b) If the original price= $ 400

Discount = $ 400 × [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex] 80

Discount =$ 80

c)  Selling price= $ 400 [tex]\frac{(100-20)}{100}[/tex]

Selling price= 4× 80

Selling price= $320

Answer:
