A cell phone costs $120. The price is reduced 30% for a sale. How much is the savings?

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 30% = 30/100 then we can transform it into a decimal:

30%=0.30

Now if we multiply 120•0.30, we will get how much we saved.

$36, we saved $36.

Bonus information:

If the problem was to say "How much does the cell phone cost after the discount?", then you would multiply 120•0.70.
