oday, everything at a store is on sale! The store is offering a 20% discount! If the regular price of an item is x dollars, write an equation to find the discount price

Question

I dont understand what this is asking please help!!

Answer 1

20% = 0.2

x -0.2x = 0.8x

the discount price = 0.8x = 8x/10 = 4x/5

20% off means you pay 100%-20% = 80% = .8x = 4x/5
