Kate wants to buy a new bicycle from a sporting-goods store. The bicycle she wants normally sells for $360. The store has a sale in which all the bicycles cost 5/6 of the regular price. What is the sale price of the bicycle? 

This is optional, but can you show me your process? I want to understand how its that answer. Please and Thank You :))



Answer :

You know how to find % of the number??
If we have 20% of 35 its [tex] \frac{20}{100}*35 [/tex] or 0.20*35
In our case we can put 5/6 and multiply it by regular price.
[tex] \frac{5}{6}*360=300 [/tex] - its the answer.
