The distant price of the 20% is less than retail price. James purchase the book at 30% discount price at special book sale. What percentage of retail price did James pay?
Answer: 56%
Explanation
Let's assume the retail price is 100.
The distant price is 20% less than the retail price:
Distant price = 100 - (20% of 100)
= 100 - 20
= 80
James purchased the book at a 30% discount on the distant price:
Discount = 30% of 80
= 0.3 × 80
= 24
Price James paid = 80 - 24
= 56
As a percentage of the retail price:
(56/100) × 100 = 56%
