week, the detergent will be on sale at a 20% discount. What will
be the sale price?

Answer 1

3.64

Explanation:

$4.55×0.20= 0.91

$4.55-0.91= $3.64

Answer 2

Sale price of detergent after 20% discount is $3.64

Explanation:

Regular price of box of detergent = $4.55

Discount rate = 20%

We need to calculate the sale price.

First we will find 20% of 4.55 and then subtract that amount from regular price.

Finding 20% of 4.55

`20\% \:of\: 4.55\\=(20)/(100)* 4.55\\=0.91`

So, the discount is $0.91

Sale price of Detergent = Regular Price - Discount Price

= 4.55 - 0.91

= 3.64

So, Sale price of detergent after 20% discount is $3.64
