Calculate the final sale price and fill in the blank with the correct numerical value.

Cevap:A hardware store is selling a power drill that originally costs

120

dollars. During a weekend sale, the drill is discounted by

20\%

. The final sale price of the drill is 【96】 dollars.

The correct final price is

96

, which is found by taking

20\%

120

to determine the discount amount (

24

), and then subtracting that discount from the original price (

120 - 24 = 96

Calculate the amount of the discount.

0.20 \times 120 = 24

To find the discount amount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage expressed as a decimal.

Subtract the discount from the original price to find the final sale price.

120 - 24 = 96

The final sale price is the original price minus the amount of the discount.

Calculating a percentage decrease to find a final price

You can calculate the final price directly in one step. Since the drill is discounted by

20\%

, you are paying

100\% - 20\% = 80\%

of the original price. Multiply

0.80 \times 120 = 96
