A laptop is on sale for 20% off the original price of $1200. What is the sale price of the laptop?

To find the sale price of the laptop, you can use the following steps:

1. **Calculate the discount amount**:  
   \[
   \text{Discount} = 20\% \text{ of } 1200 = \frac{20}{100} \times 1200 = 0.2 \times 1200 = 240
   \]

2. **Subtract the discount from the original price**:  
   \[
   \text{Sale Price} = 1200 - 240 = 960
   \]

So, the sale price of the laptop is **$960**.

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. What would the sale price be if the discount was 25% instead of 20%?
2. If the laptop was $1500 instead of $1200, what would the sale price be with a 20% discount?
3. How much would you pay if you had an additional 5% discount on the sale price?
4. If tax is 8%, what is the total price including tax after applying the discount?
5. How do you calculate the original price if you only know the sale price and the discount percentage?

**Tip:** When calculating percentages, converting the percentage to a decimal (like 20% to 0.20) makes the multiplication easier.
