Timmy wants to buy a scooter and the price was $50. when he goes to the store a second time he found that price was marked down 20%. what is the new price?
20% of 50 is the same as writing 50*0.20, so we just do the math on that. 50*0.20=10 Since it was marked down that much, we subtract the found 20% from the 50. 50-10=40 The new price of the scooter is $40.
