Math Problem Statement

How much is the discounted price of an item which originally sells st 180 pesos if it is to be sold with a 20% discount?

Solution

To find the discounted price, you need to calculate 20% of the original price and subtract that from the original price.

Here’s the process:

  1. Original price = 180 pesos
  2. Discount = 20% of 180 pesos
    Discount=180×0.20=36 pesos\text{Discount} = 180 \times 0.20 = 36 \text{ pesos}
  3. Discounted price = Original price - Discount
    Discounted price=18036=144 pesos\text{Discounted price} = 180 - 36 = 144 \text{ pesos}

So, the discounted price is 144 pesos.
