Working out how much a $1,200 washing machine costs after a 1/5 of a
discount is a simple equation. First simply divide $1,200 by 5 to get
240 dollars. To find out how much this 1/5 discount leaves the washing
machine at, simply subtract the $240 from the original $1,200 to get to
$960.
You want to turn fraction into into decimal (1/5=0.2) then you want to multiply that by the original price 1,200= 240. This is the discount you will be getting of part one. Then you want to do $1,200( original cost ) -$240( discount of) =$960
