Question

An item is regularly priced at $20 . Leila bought it at a discount of 60% off the regular price. How much did Leila pay?

Answer 1

60 percent=0.6
20*0.6=12

$12.

Answer 2

60% of 20 is 12 because .60×20 is 12.
Since it is 60% off, we subtract.
Subtract 12 from 20 and you'll get 8.
Leila paid $8!
