The original price of a bicycle was $150.00. Jeremy bought the bike at a time when the store was having a 20%-off clearance sale.

What was the price of the bicycle when Jeremy bought it?

$140.00

$149.80

$130.00

$120.00

The answer is $120.00

Step-by-step explanation:

So first from the problem; The original price is:

$150.00

The percent off clearance:

20%

You can do this two ways:

1. $150.00*20% or 0.2 = $30.00

$150.00-$30.00 = $120.00

2. $150.00/20% or 0.2 = $750.00

$750.00-$150.00-$600.00

$600.00*20% or 0.2 = $120.00

You can do it both ways, and it will still be right.
