Problem-Solving and Data Analysis practice question
A game costs $40 and is on sale at 20% off. What is the sale price, in dollars?
Answer: 32
20% of 40 is 8, so the sale price is 40 − 8 = 32.

- If you answered 8
- 8 is the discount alone.
- If you answered 20
- 20 subtracts 20 dollars instead of 20 percent.
- If you answered 48
- 48 adds the discount instead of subtracting.
