I know if I pay the full price of the shoes, I have to pay a 100%. But I get 20%
off of that price sp I should only pay 80%. I'm going to show you how to finish
this problem out. So, I have 80% of the original cost. I know of means
multiplication. So, I have 80% times the original cost which is $60. I'm going
to change my percent to a decimal. I know I need to divide by 100, because it's
percent. So I move the decimal two places to the left, I get 0.8 times $60. I'm
going to do 8/10 times $60, I get 48.
So, I only need to pay $48 to get the shoes. That's a pretty good deal. Okay.
Let's try another problem.
