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

The bike originally costs $360, with a discount of 5/6 off the price. To find the sale price, convert 5/6 to a decimal (0.8333) and multiply this by the original price. So the sale price for the bicycle is $299.98. ;

The sale price of the bicycle is $300, which is 6 5 ​ of the regular price of $360. We calculated this by multiplying $360 by 6 5 ​ .
