Answer 1

Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of $40

= $\frac{20}{100}$ × $40

= 0.2 × $40

= $8

$8 is discounted from the regular price

Answer 2

Answer:

$8 off

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from a percentage to a multiplier by dividing by 100:

$\frac{20}{100}=0.2$

Then multiply that by the price:

$40*0.2=8$

meaning the item is $8 off.

You can confirm that like so:

$\frac{8}{40} =0.2$

or 20%
