Question

A swimsuit that cost $ 25 was on sale for 20% off.
Ashley calculated the discounted price this way : $25-$20 = $5
what went wrong? find the correct discounted price.

Answer 1

20% of $25 is $5, so she got $5 off
discounted price = $25-$5 = $20

Ashley's calculation would have been for 80% off
