Wheel’s Bicycle shop advertised a bicycle for 15% off for a savings of $36. The bicycle did not sell so it was offered at a new 20% discount off the sale price.



a. What did the bicycle sell for regularly?



b. What is the amount of the new discount?



Answered by Ms. Sue
0.15x = 36
x = 36/0.15
x = 240

240 - 36 = 204

0.2 * 204 = ?

a)
Since 15% is $36
100$ = 36/.15 = $240

b) 20% of $240 = $48
