Question

Karen wants to buy a $22.50 jacket that is marked 20% off. Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the sentence. The best estimate for the discount can be found using the expression

Answer 1

discount = price times % off

 discount = 22.50 x 0.20

discount = $4.50

Answer 2

Answer:

$\ 22.50*0.20=\ 4.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> original price

y------> percentage of discount

z-----> discount

we know that

$z=xy$

In this problem we have

$x=\ 22.50$

$y=20\%=\frac{20}{100}=0.20$

Substitute the values

$z=\ 22.50*0.20=\ 4.50$
