Given:
The original price of the book is $40.
The book is on sale for 20% off.
Find:
The new price of the book after the 20% discount = ?
Formula:
New Price = Original Price – (Percentage Discount x Original Price)
Solution:
New Price = Original Price – (Percentage Discount x Original Price)
New Price = 40 – (20% x 40)
New Price = 40 – ( 20/100 x 40)
New Price = 40 – 8
New Price = 32, The New Price of the Book is $32.
