Here is the problem: A 80 jacket is on sale for 30 percent off. What is the sale price?

2
00:00:06.731 --> 00:00:21.963
The original price is 80 and it decreases by 30 percent, so the percent change is negative 30 percent. Percent increase or decrease; old equals 80, p equals negative 30 percent; solve for new.

3
00:00:22.763 --> 00:00:31.320
Read the problem. The original price is 80 and it decreases by 30 percent, so the percent change is negative 30 percent.

4
00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:42.486
Identify the known values. Percent increase or decrease. Known: old equals 80, p equals negative 30 percent. Unknown: new value (new).

5
00:00:42.936 --> 00:00:47.592
Write the equation. new equals old times (1 plus p/100).

6
00:00:48.042 --> 00:00:52.698
Solve for new. new equals 80 times (1 plus negative 0.3).

7
00:00:53.498 --> 00:00:55.588
Result. new equals 56.

8
00:00:56.388 --> 00:01:01.531
So the answer is New price equals 56 (the discount is 24).

9
00:01:01.981 --> 00:01:13.185
Substitute the known values into new equals old times (1 plus p/100) and isolate new. Keep units consistent (for example miles, miles per hour and hours).

10
00:01:13.985 --> 00:01:23.215
Substituting new equals 56 back into new equals old times (1 plus p/100) balances both sides, which checks out.
