20% off means that he bought the suit for 80% of 160. Gives you an answer of $128.
The family bought it for 495. The sale prce was 80%, therefore 396. Subtract 396 from 495=$99

There are sixteen oz (sixteen oz) in a pound (lb) So.... 4 lb 12 ouncesis the comparable as asserting 4 12/sixteen.... yet wait!.... 4 12/sixteen is the comparable as 4 3/4 (because of the fact the two the numerator 12 and the denominator sixteen are divisible through 4)... and four 3/4 is the comparable as asserting 4.75.... so now the completed fee of the rooster would be equivalent to the load of the rooster situations the fee consistent with pound.... in different phrases... fee of rooster = Weight of rooster x fee/lb fee = 4.75 lb x $0.ninety six = $4.fifty six !!! achieved! So.... see? .... that wasn't so undesirable in spite of each and every thing... grow to be it? wish this allows!!!

To figure those out, just divide each number by ten. That will be 10 percent. To get 20% just add two tens together then subtract that number from the original price number. That's how I do it when I shop.
