Question

You went to an electronics store and would like to buy a TV priced at $1200. You only have $1000 to
spend and the store gives 15% discount on the TV. Can you buy the TV? Explain

Answer 1

Answer
No you can’t buy the TV because you don’t have enough money. You are missing $20.

Explanation
1,200 × 15 ÷ 100 = 180
1,200 - 180 = 1,020
1,020 - 1,000 = 20
