Most of us feel it, some don't. Some of us say it, some don't. Some may agree, some won't. Be as it may, the facts still remain.
A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Nice!
You save $32
You pay $128
You save $32
You pay $128
I save $32
I pay $128 🙂
20% of $160 is $32….hence I save $32 and I pay $160-$32=$128. Am I r8 Jingle?
Answer is $32 and $128 respectively.
Jingle not very sure, my English & Maths sucks and grossly hopeless.
(A) If the table is priced at $160 nett after marked off 20% then..
You save: $40
You pay: $160
So my answer according to your hint is (B)
(B) If the table is priced at $160 gross with a 20% marked off then..
You save: $32
You pay: $128
(Your hint: Pay=$160-save)
tQ for triggering the mind to function instead of idling.
complete and thoughtful!
thumbs up!
You save:$32
You pay:$128
Jingle is there a ‘catch’ seems too easy like 1+1=2 some hidden corner somewhere? 😛
Have a great weekend.
what’s with the math test huh? anyways it was way toooooooo easy!!
Glad that it is easy for you.
😉
I must be reading this problem different than the rest of you, because here is the way I see it, and after talking it over with my daughter, Donna, and my husband, Larry, we are in agreement with each other on this answer. The problem reads.
If a dining table listed at $160 is marked 20% off.
How much do you save when you buy the table?
how much do you pay?
You save: $40.00
You pay: $160.00
Regular Price of the table is $200.00
The 20% has already been taken off the regular price leaving your cost at $160.00.
Hint: The first line is saying it (IS) already marked down.
I DIDN’T TAKE MY SMART PILL THIS MORNING SO I MAY BE WRONG! LOL
well done, Viola!
i was horrible at these questions. i could never bite them accurately.
I have a small award for you, please collect it from my blog: http://mydomainpvt.wordpress.com/best-blog-award/ and make me very, very happy.
With warmest wishes,
Thank U.
How much do you save?
You all get the correct answer.
Viola think further, she offered two options, which is okay!
It depends on how you take it.
In general,
$160 is the original price, thus 20% off is to save $32, and you pay $132.
excellent job.
I appreciate all those who have participated this math problem solving!
Happy Sunday to You All!
😉
