Question

I need help now plz!!!!!

Answer 1

step 1 Figure out what is 20 % of $60 (discount amount)    60x0.2=12

step 2 Subtract the discount amount )calculated at Step 1) from the original jacket price   60-12 =48

 

 

Answer 2

If something is priced 20% off List Price, then you obviously pay 80% of List Price (mental computation of 80%, or factor 0.8, is the first step).

 

So you pay 0.8(60) = $48; that's step two.
